@dh - These are the retail version and this is in hopes that others will see if they want the xFrog retail based on what everyone sees I'm doing.  As always, comments are welcome.

Here is the Shagbark Hickory.

Very good work Calico. Always great to see someone's workflow on the conversion process.
I've also had troubles converting models lately but now I've found a way to convert them correctly and it's almost similar to yours.

Have you ever tried replacing the original textures with some of your own?
I've recently downloaded a few very high-res bark-textures from http://www.cgtextures.com and also created bump maps of them using NVidia's normal map tool.
Those high-res textures look really awesome in close-up with low displacement values.
You can also do the same for the leaf-textures too of course.

A Pecan tree.  I was in a hurry and cut off the top in the render.  You can still see the cool leaves and bark.

@TU - Thanks.  I had to change my process and have changed it to include removing the default metal effect in PoseRay.  As a matter of fact, this one thing, among about 90% of the other steps I take to get the result I want came from Harvey Birdman.  So, thanks to you, Harvey.  Because of you, I'm not losing my mind trying to figure all of this out.

I have tried experimenting with different textures and I've done a little with the Nvidia filter for PS (and love it), but I have a lot more fun experimentation ahead.

These are from the Basic set.  I have 10 more to convert...of the middle instances.  Then there are 40 more to convert, including the young and adult.  Everything in this thread is from the middle instance of the tree.
