Its really nice of you to do this article. Ive tried search after search and have not found this much info and this is only part one. Will be looking foward to part two. COOL :-)

All I can say is WOW. This is an excellent article to help everyone. CK you have done an outstanding job on this article and the work within it. I am sure the second part will be just as informative and detail packed as this one was. Great job!!! you are definitely making me want to do a jungle dio!!! Cheers Kevin

Many thanks Scott for your help in publishing the article. . Made my day.

Joe, Antonio, Keenan and Kevin, its the least I can do as I've definitely gained more from reading your posts and many other posts here.

Hope it wasn't too lengthy. Age has a bit of a habit of making us long-winded. I better stop before I get started.

Thanks again guys.

My Good Friend CK, i know well how much effort and time u have put in this experimentation on the tropical vegetation and jungles simulation. I wanna thank u for making all this good job, cause its an issue of research for every serious modeller that wants to represent accurately this foliage. Looking forward to ur part II of it .

Keep working like this , ure precious
