Bart Veldhuizen
I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

Where is the video ?
Ack! Here you go :)
Is it my fault? I didnt see anything :O
No, not at all, I forgot to properly include it. I still have to get used to how things work in the new theme I guess :)
it looks realistic... from far away.
What immediately strikes me is that the branches move but the leaves don't. For convincing realism the leaves must move too.
each time i make low poly tree, i get a white un-transparent leaf in rendered mode.
