Hi everyone!
I am new here. Can anyone tell me what is the difference between buying Terragen 2 without animation and with animation?
Can I insert objects like trees with no animation?
And another thing.... what is the advantage to have the Xfrogplants in xfr format? What does the Xfrog 3.5 software does? Can I model my own type of tree?
Just one more thing...what does it mean render node licenses?

I hope anyone can help me.

Thank you very much.

The animation version allows you to render sequences of frames for clips, along with various animation properties and abilities that go with that.  Such as being able to have objects move around the scene over given frames, change settings over frames, etc.  Theres also built in motion blur for the camera as it animates, etc.

Every version can insert objects.  The free version does have a limit to number of populations of objects etc however.  Only the animation version can actually animate the objects in a scene though.

The xfr format allows for you to reload those trees you get, and tweak them slightly, or generate as many variations as you want.  Xfrog is a tree/plant/vegetation modeling software.  It's main fileformat is xfr.  From those xfr files it can generate new variations for you (I believe usually you get ~ 3 variations with the obj version and thats it?)

Basically each license is for one person working and using Terragen to make scenes.  But due to how Terragen works requiring massive cpu/memory etc for renders, you get render node licenses.  Each render node license you have allows for you to install Terragen on a given amount of extra machines (up to however many render licenses you have) for the purpose of rendering only.
