      I don't think you should get any of these into SU.

          If you were going to use them in SU, I suppose that the 3ds option might be best. On the few occasions I've used 3ds Xfrog models on SU, I haven't encountered any major problems (except the obvious slowdown).

            Thanks for the information. These are beautiful models, but the first one I downloaded had a young, medium and adult form of a flowering tree. The total size of the 3 combined was near 350 MG as sketchup models. The only way I can use these is to make elevations and then export them to photoshop for 2D pngs. This will give you a multitude of different looking trees to work with. They will be great for finishing up a rendering in Photoshop, or a 2d tree in sketchup. Included with the downloads are tifs, which can be converted to pngs.

                they are more manageable than you might think....a little time consuming initially, but well worth the effort..! πŸ‘

                  When importing the 3ds files into SU I'm having trouble getting the graphics to look right. For example, with a tree import how to you make the translucent plane that displays the photo graphic of the leaves go away so that just the photo is there? I managed to do it a while back but now I'm rusty... or maybe it was a feature on SU 7?

                  Thanks in advance.

                    hello
                    i downloaded one of those free models from the xfrog website, the Rosemary Grevillea: http://xfrog.com/product/OC54.html but i have strange issues during rendering in vray for sketchup. i used the UV Toolkit2 plugin that copies the maps from frontface material to the backface and in vray material menu i checked the transparency form map option, but when i try to render the plant i have a kind of black hole behind it. similar burnt effect i had with overlapping surfaces but it's not the case i guess. anybody of you experienced similar problems before? how can i get rid of it?

                    http://i39.tinypic.com/28wnjbp.jpg

                    it's visible even in the alpha channel:

                    http://i44.tinypic.com/ddcmx1.jpg

                    it appears behind the plant no matter what point of view i choose...

                      Maybe you should try to up your tracing depth?

                        thanks, it wasn't the tracing depth issue, but your post helped me to find out, it was transparency level default setting that was too low, i raised it to 500 and now everything is fine. πŸ˜„
