Models of trees

[krausyao]

The models of trees in Train Simulator that I have seen so far are four to six rectanges with images of trees using an alpha mask to remove the gaps. Has anyone tried using actual 3D models of trees and bushes?

A program at http://www.easytreegenerator.info/ can create 3D models of trees with about 4000 to 5000 polygons per tree. Would this be too much for the program?

Edit: Another tree generation program

That is about half of a decent engine, or one car. Too many for a tree. Nice thought though.
