Hi Morten,

Xfrog now has a direct import plugin for XSI.  So you make your tree in Xfrog, then import it into XSI in it's native format, with UVs.  If I recall you have to tell XSI to wrap the UVs, but that's about the only quirk I can remember...  It always worked solidly for me.

Only bugger is no support for animation.

I was wondering if any of you have experience with external tree generators and importing into XSI... Most of them seem to be able to generate OBJ, 3ds and other formats but the good question is which one provides good UV info for texturing leaves?

 

TIA!
