Beautiful work. I'm really enjoying the recent tree images here--yours and
the one posted by Neddahk.

I don't know much about X-Frog, so I don't know what kind of leaf objects it
creates. If they are simple triangle patches--that is, just a "flat" front
and back surface--you might try adding double_illuminate to them.  That
worked for me when I made some similar leaf objects in sPatch. It allowed
some light to filter through.
