Thanks for the response on Plant Materials, Tim. I have tried using the "cardboard" technique in animation I'm presently working on, but some of the scenes involve a fly-by of a building with several plants and trees located right next to it, so this technique doesn't hold up very well. I was curious as to whether there were any other techniques, short of buying "Fractal Garden" or similar plugin, which look good, but would increase the vertex count of my scenes.
