xfrog
xfrog is a shareware that allows the interactive modelling of plants and many other
things. It combines the rule based model generation with techniques like free form
deformation and global and local constraints. By this, specific plants can be modelled much
faster and more flexible in comparison to other rule based approaches.
The software is available with the beginning of august `97 (see
http://www.greenworks.de/).
