One suggestion. If you have Lightwave 7 (I forget if this works in 6). Go to the transparency layer of the tree and copy that texture. Go to object properties/render for the tree and click on clip map. Paste the texture you copied, making sure anti-aliasing is off. Use that texture and delete the transparency texture that you originally copied from. Why Vue uses uses transparency for the leaves of the tree as opposed to a clipping map is beyond me. It might have something to do with exporting to a pre 7.0 format (Xfrog does the same thing). But doing it this way created renders that take a LONG time. Try it as a clipping map and see how fast it now renders. Also in those exported objects that Guitta posted there are a few maps that are NOT used, They seem be used in the transparency layer of the objects though they don't do a thing. Remove them. I mean what kind of transparency would the land have..or the ground.
