Lovely.

I've been thinking about how trees are distributed and I've noticed that in 
RL  the dense growth tend to be in the valleys and "dents" and of course 
along streams and rivers. I think this has to do with how water flows when 
it rains and tends to accumulate in puddles obviousley carrying any loose 
seeds with it. Maybe an easy way to simulate this is by giving lower 
altitudes a higher denstiy and higher probabilty of clumps.

Keep up the good work!

I'm interested. Especialy because it's done in Pov-Ray :)
