Talking about plants, PlantStudio 2 beta 3 was released on feb 21st, it has now additional 3 exports:Lightwave LWO, Wavefront OBJ and VRML. Improvements to 3DS ? , DXF and POV formats as well. In the PS beta 2 version I had to go through 3D Explor before Vue would accept the 3DS format, in the beta 3 the 3DS is read by VUE but the plant is messed up in a big way , it does show up OK in 3D Explor. The LWO and OBJ exports are imported fine in Vue.
