Again, having fun with Giles Tran's tree macro.
This time I made a bush...Only took 7hrs this time!...just kidding,
I learned my lesson the first time. This one really took about 5min.

Well, I'm really happy you have fun :))) Looks great.
About the previous one, high recursion levels (>6) are really impossible to
manage. I went through painfully high parsing times myself when testing the
macro. One trick is to set the "dotexture" param to "false" so that at least
you don't get the texture copied for every single elements. This is one thing
I learnt from Spider's tree utility : for most tree textures, having a texture
flowing realistically along the branches is useless and eats a lot of memory.
Something I didn't try but that could be fun is to set a high number of
branches with a low probability of branch apparition ("branchproba"), so that
you can have complexity but moderate parsing time.

Keep having fun
Gilles Tran

That looks so nice. The specular hilighting works wonders on it.

I put the source in povray.binaries.scenefiles
Mostly I just copied the tree files that came with
Gilles' include file and fiddled with the settings.
