> Hi there,
>
> after adding some automatic adaption of the level of detail my old PC was
> able to render a complete fern. It looks quite confused since it is built
> randomly.
>
> Some details:
>
> It consists of 22 wings with varying number of leaves. In total there were
> 8154 objects (there were more than 106000 in the full-detail version!).
> Total computation time was 50 minutes and 57 seconds. Both, rendering and
> parsing took almost exactly the half of this: 25min 36/21 sec. My PC is a
> very old P200.
>
> I am satisfied with the result therefore it is no longer of WIP status.
> Thank you very much to all who gave me tips and hints!
> Now I will clean-up the include files and release them as soon as possible.
> It needs some user manual and a test-scene to be used properly.
>
> Now I will concentrate on moss, waterdrops, snails and some stones. I think
> some more pictures will follow here soon to get your comments.

> live long and trace prosper, :-)
