xFrog, the plant generation and animation software has recently released xFrog 5 for Autodesk Maya 2011. Xfrog adds six new procedural Objects to Maya and by combining these with Maya components/objects you can create a wide variety of organic models and animations using organic procedures (based on some of the building blocks of Nature). The xFrog tools behave exactly like Maya components, so you can keyframe them and combine them with PaintEffects or Particle animations or use MEL Scripts to drive them – the possibilities are nearly endless. xFrog retails for $399.00, available from xFrog Inc.
