very lovely!

Orio, lovely scene... The cow is a nice touch... How big are those trees anyway, megs wise? They look great...
Orio
You'll be surprised Tradivoro... the bigger tree is 232,474 polys including the fruits which are all real 3d (not alphas). If you consider that Vue's inbuilt Cherry is some 350.000 polys, and the Walnut can go up to 250,000 polys, both without 3D fruits, you'll see that my trees are prefectly manageable. Without the fruits, the largest pear tree would be 111,419.

This is adorable and I especially love the expression on the cow. She looks so curious. The girls are great. Very nicely done.
