Yes that's true, but for the current proportion it looks nice this way.( in my opinion )
If anynone uses this palm with a long trunk he should do it.

If you have more than one tree in your map and all trees look the same it doesn't look very natural, but if you have 3-4 different "versions" it looks ok. To create these other versions simply modify the original one a bit. ( pitch the palms head a bit for example )

A new plant "andromeda". A very spacy plant from my bureau which really exists and looks this way!

Here it is:

By the way anyone has a new screenshot with one of my plants for me?


here ingame in glest (just a test, it doesn't fit very well in size and place here ..... )

Hmm, I like it. I'm not sure what that bit at the bottom is though You might just want to remove it, to save tris.

This thing on the bottom is somthing to hide some problems
If you use a small version of this plant it's useless, but if you use it as a big plant you better use this or another thing like this .....

update: if you use it as a small model remove the lower side of the leaves. its useless to have nice looking surfaces below, you only get more useless vertices.
