What you can achieve...

When you're done with with this tutorial, you'll be creating entire forests in no time. Using alphaplanes, large forests which would have killed your hard drive can easily be created and the final scene will probably be about 3 MB or less. The image attached has got a total filesize of 3.2 MB. If every tree was a model, it would have been closer to 100 MB!

	by haegerst on Jan 13, 2003 1:37:56 pm [homepage] Thomas this is great! I�ve worked with Alpha Planes before, but the idea of using a whole Line of Trees to build a forest is superb! I�m sure this can help us all saving rendering time and disc-space. Thanks Thomas!!!! Stefan
