Hey Varian,great trees, really! I went and downloaded them all and played around with them a little. They "take" some of yours' and Bernie's alternate plant materials pretty well. Of course, with setting the "faded-out" to something compatible, but they really look pretty good. The cool thing is that most 3D modeling programs could be used to iport them and bend branches, and what not, not to mention things such as Poser's magnets. NOW, I finally see why it would be very cool to be able to export Vue trees, if only in their "natural" state, with no transparencies--- deforming. Thanks again!
