Not too shabby! I on the other hand am still tinkering with the
staircase ... a lot of pieces that I've been transforming around in
different configurations, but nothing worth writing home about yet. I
think I'll give the trees a try maybe it's just the diversion I need ...
Cool!

Thanks!
Here's a test involving hanging branches. Maybe the trees (shrubs) could be up
on pedestals?

I went ahead and dropped the new version (potted shrub) over to the usual place.
Same leaf, though it connects more closely to the branches now. The leaves
change color near the ends, though they could be a little bluer to help
distinguish the plant from the other trees.
It takes a bit long to parse (over 12 seconds on my machine), so it might need
some preview settings (a lower Seg value).

Some pruned shrubs here. They might be a nicer option than the others, for a
courtyard anyway :) The spherical version parses fairly quickly. If you're
interested I'll get 'em ready... tomorrow... ;o

Wow!
I was struggling with TomTree and PovTree to get hanging branches and here
you just did it!

Sure, I first thought about how to build a wall, then I tried the
easiest way to do it ...

Yeah... me too... Here you see the really talented ones at work.
Fascinating!
I shall be studying carefully the code. There is so much to learn from those
guys :-)

No kidding ... Sam I've said it before, you're a wizard. I /really/ like
the pruned versions. I'm going to go ahead and use the latest tree
growing macro and start on placing a few trees in the scene. I resolved
the staircase issue (I was over complicating things) and I've been
working some on refining the camera pose.
I've updated two files ... the main scene file and the buildings file
that pickups up the staircase (low detail because of the distance from
camera) and some other minor changes ... the level ups in the courtyard
are gone inside wall is now at 47.8 and the courtyard tile pattern was
expanded to fit the slight gain in space.
