Making the forest scenery.

Then I decided, alright. In my movie, I need a forest, it's one of the first scenes, but I haven't even started making it! Oh no! What do I do but start making it. I tried out many tree generators such as PlantNG, L-System, Gen3, Peach's tree gen, and also third party tools but in the end I stuck with Gen3. pretty awesome application. This was a HUGE challenge. My computer is an old 5 year laptop with crappy inbuilt graphics card and 1gig RAM, not a huge renderfarm. I started with this render, made about 10 trees, then it just epic crashed. Even with everything set on bounding box, selecing an object had a lag of about 20 seconds if I'm lucky. If I'm not lucky, my computer crashes. Even once I decided to switch to a much higher end nVidia graphics card with 2 gig RAM and brand new laptop (not mine) to help make the scene, but it crashed more than twice as much.
Anyway, here's how it turned out
