I am getting some renders going now Marc.

Sweet, Henry.

I know I still have a few things to figure out, mostly in Maya and the way I create and map the cards. I decided to make my own cards for the leaf images which will work better than the way ST handles it. Also, I will work on mesh leaf objects and use them instead of the mapped cards.

cheers Marc!

The mesh leaf objects will work much better I believe. That will eliminate the billboardy effect. It will also allow for proper distribution along the branch normals/geometry.
