Interesting....
Ideally, though, I think to get a forest of realistic trees, some sort
of mutant isosurface with component lists is needed. Something like a
blob, perhaps, in its ability to ignore certain elements that can't
intersect the ray. The up side is that if it's done like a blob, it can
be possible to texture the individual elements.
