Quote - Vue uses billboards for trees which cuts way down on poly counts.  Maybe Carrara will have that feature one day.  Or one could model their tree in XSI.

One really good modeled tree in a scene is better than having many randomly generated and not so well modeled ones.

Carrara has billboards now.
Shouldn't  be too hard to Render a tree - place the bitmap on the billboard and then replicate a forest of billboard trees.
