Thank you!

That explains it, although, to me, it significantly devalues the entire thing. I'd love to be able to produce plants which are filly geometry based (especially since these seem to have enough polygons to actually make the polygons which get alpha'ed-out completely unnecessary... and it's all triangles anyway, so you get a lot of fidelity from the geometry alone...) There is no setting in the program to force the alpha maps into geometry?

Replicated geometry-only objects render much faster than alpha-mapped stuff, so for me having a program to generate diverse plants with geometry-only shaping would have been worth the pricetag for big projects. Without it - not so much :(...

Also, given that CG Artists version is limited to 100000 poly export, not being able to clean up unnecessary geometry seems especially unfortunate...

And, Stanley, thank you so much for testing it out and sharing your findings!
