Hi, my name is Orio, of course I'm a Renderosity subscriber (and customer), I'm a fairly well-known member of the online 3D communities it's a few years now. I would like to advance the proposal of an Xfrog forum here at Renderosity. For those who don't know, Xfrog is state of the art software for polygonal tree creation, but with great capabilities also a generic organic modeller. Xfrog's home site is http://www.xfrog.com should you want to check. I offer myself as moderator. I am already the listmaster of the Xfrog group at Yahoogroups it's over one year now. I work as professional tree programmer for Greenworks. I am the author of their Autumn, North America Conifers, Blossoming Trees and Mediterranean tree libraries, and co-author of their Basic tree library. I can say that I (more or less) know Xfrog programming inside and out, especially when trees and plants are concerned. I wrote and published several Xfrog tutorials. I plan to contribute here with my professional experience with Xfrog, and more concretely, with helpful tips, tutorials, and, when time allows, also with Xfrog free models should an Xfrog free files section be created here. Although I work for Greenworks, I am not "part of" Greenworks, as I am an independent collaborator, so should I be accepted as moderator, this would always be an independent forum. I will also be glad to collaborate in the moderation of the Forum with other experienced Xfrog users that would like to cooperate. Well, that's all I think, let me know what you think of this, and if it's possible. Orio

I would like to second this proposal. For those of us who know Orio, we know well of his experience and capability with not only Xfrog, but with Vue d'Esprit, as well as other programs. Xfrog is rapidly building momentum and will be a viable force in the new generation of 3D organic (as well as abstract) 3D computer modeling programs. Xfrog does trees well, but does so much more too, equally well. Please cast your vote here, to add this impressive program to our ever-increasing list of 3D learning resources, and say "Yes!" to the Xfrog forum!

Sounds good. I have no experience with XFrog, but I've seen some excellent work come out of it from experienced users.

Thanks for the suggestion Orio. If enough people show support for the forum, we'll be happy to create it.

Xfrog can produce some amazing things in the right hands. Orio is not only a moderator for the Xfrog mail list, but also for the Vue d'Esprit list (both at YahooGroups). He also has a kick-butt Xfrog website, and is definitely an Xfrog Xpert and a heck of a cool dude. :)

I think that's a great idea... An xfrog forum here would enlighten a lot of us who would like to use this program more...

Please do it!

I know XFrog from the (Windoze-) beginning. It is a great software, and it would be very favourable for all 3d fans to have a XFrog forum here on renderosity.

Sounds good. I don't have it but it does look like an excellent program. Maybe Renderosity could do like they did with Rhino and resell at a discount price.

An Xfrog forum is a great idea. Ive seen some fantastic models done with it and if there were a forum here, I might just buy it. Rich
