Gentle people have created this fantastic and cheap program for educational purposes. All parameters of the growth are parametrable and you can create entirely your own plants, inspired from nature or absolutely unknown !!!
Not only it exports DXF files for 3D rendering, but also it can export images which are useable in Xara X, for single objects or brushes (the program exports also nozzles for Painter and Tubes for PaintShopPro). It can also animate the growth of plants and you may rotate them to see them in all positions !!!
My tip for use in Xara X is exporting to BMP 256 colors and then create a bitmap copy, turning the white background to transparent !!!
You will find fully functionnal trial copies there:

But don't forget, it's an extraordinary tool for environmental education !!!
Enjoy it !!!
