well the FHCO have been experimenting with Greenworks xfrog, a tree/plant modelling app that has a rep as being hard to come to grips with,,,,,well we read through the docs and had a go for a bit, and then they kept at it until their demo expired ( I hear tiny voices whispering "buy it for us" ) .
I thought I would post a few examples of their work, from the early alien creations to some way cool ones, like the waekuhl tree.
They may even end up in Snapgallows, once I get my own computer, and some time when I am NOT working,,,retirement was sooooo nice...


so this is fan coral, ther very first creation, its rendered in Terragen with a default beach/ water sand terrain we made, then silloh, for silhouette, which I couldn't spell with out a spell checker, then loedhan thicket, supposed to be razor sharp, keeps the beasties out.

more to follow

from the bizarre to the odd, to the really good..
The first is the spinybujjer, the word with the two g's in it close to bujjer is not allowed, they live in the water, kind of like an anemone, until i screw up the render settings and invert them, and then toss them way up in the air, then you get the spinybujjer migration, or invasion.

Then is my favorite the waekuhl tree, I think they all had a hand in it, and if I do by xfrog down the road some time, we are going to do an animation where the branches with the big berry things reach out and sway,,,xfrog will export the models for each scene and terragen will render it..

I think that is it, i have to check my email to be sure.....

But, xfrog is great, once they got a handle on scale, primitives , and materials, they loved it,,,,if we do get it I will have to learn it as well

I tried the demo myself ages ago, couldn't make anything, of course, as I did not READ the doc's, but having to explain it to the kids as we went along the first couple hours really worked. Best bit I learned was you have to select a primitive when adding things, otherwise nothing shows up, primitive type "none" is the default,,,,,,,I did not know that, way back when, so I gave up ......

Well, the FHCO were over again, and it was decided that as the weather is awful, too awful to go out, that we would make a start on their website in MS Expression.
So a few hours later we have the basic page structure and layout done, several ideas for how and what to post to it, and we are (finally) rolling again.
Thanks in part to their new computer, my new laptop, and the awful weather.
Eight pages of Snapgallows, coveriing imagery, maps, stories, and links to what we used for software,,,and more.
Here is a sneak preview of the home page, subject to minor changes, like font color, the orange was a compromise between pinks and reds...
