Hey, thanks for the tip! Actually, Im very familiar with what SpeedTree can do. Its used in Dark Age of Camelot, which I play sometimes when the boss isnt looking ;-) SpeedTree is a vertical market tool targeted at the game industry. Game developers use it to create nice looking trees and dramatically reduce polygon count to the point that its mostly just a few planes that load very quickly into realtime game environments. They look good from several angles, but when you flatten trees out you lose flexibility and detail. Best regards, Lynn Fredricks e-on software
