3D Studio has a neat IPAS routine that generates Trees and forests, the objects
are huge though :(, some trees take up more than 7Mb each!  Maybe I`ll create
one and upload it to 'tomahawk' as a 3DS file, which you can read into
Lightwave.

The forest setting works in the same way as described by someone else here
using two polygons crossing each other and using an opacity map.
