Hi Norbert,

Thanks, probably a lot slower than commercial software though.

I am going to adjust the macros to add some parameters to help control 
the various elements (number of seeds/leaf and stalk bend, textures etc) 
currently this is all hard coded into the macros so not very flexible. 
Once done I will upload them to the sources or object-collection thread.

The mesh has no normals applied so the triangle count is pretty high, I 
will also add parameters to adjust this where less detail is required. 
If I had time to workout how to calculate the normals it could have a 
lot less triangles (although this would then mean calculating where to 
have the edges of the triangles so as not to lose the points at the edges).

Also, I am using uv_mapping to apply the texture but I am 99.9% sure I 
am not using it correctly I wanted to have the tips of the leaves a 
slightly different colour so use the uv_mapping to control where on the 
spline I am so the texture changes at the tip of each leaf.
