Took a break for awhile.... it was killing me. File is starting to get large enough that it is really slowing down the machine; have to shut trees off.
Thanks to everyone that helped me out with getting the cypresses; I have a couple different models that are working and they look good. I finally bit the bullet and hunted for some houses and other course infrastructure and it is actually helping move things along. There is still a lot of unfinished stuff outside the boundaries of the course but I'm slowly finding ways to deal with that.
Still work to be done but I'm starting to see the end of the tunnel and it isn't far off.
