Ive been messing with the same thing..
I submited a screenshot to the gallery, called grassNtree's
tree's are from tree magik except for the palm.
While it doesnt look all that great, the shear # of entitys is high. 300 trees and 12000 crossed flat grass meshes.
gettin 58fps on the radeon8500 and 21 fps on a radeon7000
athlon xp 2.2ghz
this was only a test to see what the grass would look like. randomly placed everything.
It wasnt merged into a single surface. thats why the FPS is fairly low.
