Hi all,

This one's a hypothetical, to satisfy my curiosity.

Those of you who use Bryce will be familiar with the memory-saving technique of using semi-transparent 2D Pict objects of trees to populate a forest. Is there an equivalent technique in Carrara ? ...

I ask this as replicating a 3D tree can become memory intensive.

On a related note, I believe that C8 Pro might be introducing ecosystems. Will this be a more memory-efficient way of populating forests ? 

thanks,
Andrew
