There are a few billboards here.
Free trees.
Make them entity's, not segments, easier to place.

If I remember corectly, Rolfy, did'nt you release a "Treeline segment". By placing Billboard trees behind the treeline, and a few 3D trees in front, made for a really nice effect.

My wife willow used it while rendering screens for her upcoming Park pack.



Now is the time, for all good things to pass. And don't it figure, My toilets' broke.

Included in the post linked to above if I remember correctly, and all billboards are entitys, I would do this way as I would render out the treeline or whatever with lighting and shadows and would want these to be dynamic so I would not have them affected by fpsc in game lighting.
Full 3d trees are static entitys, Willow must have built te scene entirely herself as I never built these into one, it is entirely possible to place entitys in positon as a segment but not a method I use a lot.

OH, OK, Sorry Rolfy, I thought you were the one who made the "Treeline Segment". Well whoever made it, it looks great!! and by adding billboard entities alongside it, looks pretty cool. The lighting "is" something to consider though.

create a plane and texture it with your deisred media, then giv it an alpha channel.
