Create and render massive forests with the Alpha Trees addon

Alpha Trees is an addon that lets you create tree cards fast. These are flat 2D images of trees that use a complex shader to give the illusion of 3D. This means that hundreds of thousands can be used in a scene with very little slow down compared to using real 3D models.

The addon also comes with built-in scattering, which makes it easy to create massive forests very quickly, with advanced features like camera tracking and the number of dead trees (+ lots more).
