Good evening all,
 
 I am making a tree, I have modeled the branches et all... And
thought to add the leaves I would use particles. I have a good effect
going.
I then freeze the particles, so there is no movement. create a model
from the tree geometry and the frozen cloud, then instance it so I can
make a nice big forest.

however it is taking for ever to preview, I waited about five mins
before the first block even appeared. and seeing as I only had about
twenty instances. its going to be a pretty rubbish forest !!

Am I going about this the right way.. does anyone know of a better way
to add leaves without having to do it all by hand. It would be lovely
if I could convert the particles to geometry. But seeing as they are
instanced to begin with, I would imagine this isn't possible.

any pointers would be a great help, as I am going to be stuck at work
all weekend working on this.

thanks in advance
