What does the polycount clock say? They look fairly low poly...

i have no idea, it doesn't work on my machine thought somebody who needs trees could use this in a map or something.

Just had a gander at what it does... each leaf is a separate bit of mesh.. so not very low polly at all. Currently there are no options to turn this down to some sort of clever bill boarding of leaves, so we'll have to stick to doing it by hand.
Alas...

Sucks.

Once again I will point us in the direction of TreeMagik which will do anything from several poly's a leaf down to a 2 quad bill board - and more importantly for us everything in between.

[aGorm]

Yes but someone would have to buy that... Anyway whats wrong with doing them by hand? Wings is your friend.
