Overview
COMPONENTS
Xfrog components make it easy to build plants, organic shapes or abstract objects. Below you will find a list of the different components and what they can do for you. All Xfrog components can be animated by varying their parameters: Growth, number of branches, strength of attraction, gravitropism, or phototropism, and each parameter of every Xfrog component can be animated! With this flexibility, Xfrog can animate things like blossoming flowers or trees growing from seed to adult.
Branch Object is for easily setting up elaborate multi-level branching structures with numerous parameters to give them a natural look.
Phyllotaxis Objectarranges other Objects on an abitrary surface of revolution, according to the rules of nature (golden section).
Hydra Objectarranges Objects in a circular pattern.
Curvature Objectcreates Splines which can be used as a basis for naturally curved leafs or twigs.
Variation Objectallows you to use multiply different Objects with Branch, Phyllotaxis and Hydra.
Tropism Objectlets your spline-based objects bend towards an abitrary direction or position.
Deviation Objectis a simple way to add natural detail to your Branches, by deviating a Branch Object at the places where other Branches emerge.

Branch Object is for easily setting up elaborate multi-level branching structures with numerous parameters to give them a natural look.
Phyllotaxis Objectarranges other Objects on an abitrary surface of revolution, according to the rules of nature (golden section).
Hydra Objectarranges Objects in a circular pattern.
Curvature Objectcreates Splines which can be used as a basis for naturally curved leafs or twigs.
Variation Objectallows you to use multiply different Objects with Branch, Phyllotaxis and Hydra.
Tropism Objectlets your spline-based objects bend towards an abitrary direction or position.
Deviation Objectis a simple way to add natural detail to your Branches, by deviating a Branch Object at the places where other Branches emerge.
