This is the low level mesh that the tree will fade to as the distance of the camera expands.

The picture is just a simple front and side camera render and the naked eye will not be able to tell the difference @ runtime.

It is attached to the JU_S3_Bush_tree's "LOD" node in its "Node Property's" window.

The mesh is weight painted using the NeL_Tree_Painter plugin for MAX, Darker color is harder and lighter color gradient is more "Bendable".
