onyxTREE vs xFrog

[Anonymous]

Maybe this is a bit off topic but I am ready to invest in some 3D tree&bush software. After some research I found onyxTREE and xFrog my favourite, as long as there is no onyxTREE demo to try I'm struggling with final decision. If there is somebody using this package and can give some insights regarding workflow, polygon handle, overal usefulness with ArchiCAD than I would be very grateful. If there is any other software you're using and can recommend, please do.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Rafal,

Last ArchiTerra sure looks impressive and since I'm very happy with my ArchiForma and ArchiStair it might be next piece in the collection. For this particular project I need close and semi-distance trees and foliage so I think I'll go for onyxTREE first.

BTW, I saw there is some ArchiForma update. Does anyone know what's new and is it worth to upgrade? Thanks again.

In reviewing Architerra's features, the improvements are stupendous!
Congratulations to Fabrizio and his Cigraph team. See the manual at:

Don't forget about Garden Works library (You've talked only about Hoshino lib with very few trees) where You could find near 40 highly parametric 3D foliage. This library is free.
