Thanks much guys.
Something at one of those places should fly.
The problem with using "pictures" of 3d trees is that they just don't stack-up to pictures of real trees.Sprites are not a top flight choice for trees but 3d jobs are cycle-eaters when you use 100-200 trees.
As for the "bluescreen" deal maybe there is something I don't know about masking.If you take a regular picture of a tree on a lawn,for instance,the background will have so many shades close to the tree how do you go about masking,without taking forever? I hope I am missing something and with some info I could figure this out.
By the way - that Turbosquid site looks like it has some good stuff.
