  Making it with meshes might be ok but I don't think you will get as
much detail as you would with my patented HF method. My method allows
you to have the leafs veins too and since the HF is internaly represented
as a mesh object it is highly effecient memory wise. Multiple copies
of a HF are no more memory intensive as multiple copies of a mesh
construct. Plus the HF method is a very easy method to produce the
exact shape of the original plus you can use the original image as
an image map for accurate color rendition.
