I have to add the following: You also can take a photo of a plant or a tree or a flower, then create an alpha mask and use it in Vue. This is especially good if you ned lots of plants but you're afraid that your computer cannot afford it. A sample: A Vue tree (could be the tree of a photo) on an alpha plane is only 2 polygons big insteed of the same tree used normally over 350,000 polygons. Guitta
