    A very nice resource invaluable for optimizing the scene and works great with geoscatter

    Works without the Scatter addon as well. Weights and other controllers can be used to control trees which is a huge plus.

    The only drawback is that Billboard Trees don't cast a proper shadow unless perfectly perpendicular to the sun's direction. This could be solved by a secondary tree on every particle, which is invisible to the camera and all rays except shadow rays. Said trees could be set to a secondary target, like the Z pointing direction of a Sun lamp, or hand-set. It's possible to set this up without any integration as well, just super tedious.

    I don't know why this add-on is still listed on Blender Market. The last positive review was 6 months ago, since then multiple customers are reporting that it doesn't work (or even install) with the current version of Blender.

    No response to my inquiries on blenderartists.org since early September, same result here. Why is it even still for sale?

    cannot import name 'get_icon' from partially initialized module 'alpha_trees_lite-2_3_9.icons' (most likely due to a circular import) (/home/user/.config/blender/4.2/scripts/addons/alpha_trees_lite-2_3_9/icons.py)

    Getting the same error all the time. I cannot solve it. Seller does not respond. So Alpha trees is useless for me.

      Hi Leo, really sorry for the wait, I've been quite bogged down by work recently. I've sent you a reply, and hopefully I can get the issue resolved quickly 👍

    It took me a while to rate this addon and its creator. I must say both deserve 5 stars: the first for its quality and performances and the second for his generous and fast response to my inquiry.
    Thank you very much! ******

    Brilliant add-on, has saved me so much time rendering large forest scenes and very easy to use :)

    Absolutely fantastic, it really does render trees fast!

    The fact that its really simple to create your own trees adds a great deal of value for me because trees that don't come included you can have turned into an alpha tree in pretty much a single click.

    Instantly increases performance, and looks pretty much flawless from 15 meters plus. The ability to cull all the tres outside the camera is incredibly nice. The creator instantly reached out to help me when I needed help. Would purchase again. 10/10
