This is #ketokeas'' nice *free* pine forest stage:

The model is a very clever, concentric stand of octagonal tree trunks supporting tangential ''flats'' with Alpha-channel mapped images of branches and leaves, set within a cylindrical back-drop. Although ~25k polys, that''s far, far fewer than you''d guess from the render...
I exported as OBJ/MTL from *free* PMX Editor. Imported to Poser at ~2.50 % of ''Original''. Adjusted Y-offset by ~10 feet to match Poser''s ground plane, then hid that.
As Poser does not recognise textures'' alpha channels, I had to save-out those branch etc PNGs'' alphas and apply them as transparency maps. Although the tree trunks are octagonal, they showed unsightly vertical artifacts at some angles. I don''t know why. They certainly were not visible in PMX Editor !!
I found it was better to use the supplied ''trunk.jpg'' plus the pine_tree Alpha channel, masking those artifacts. Also, Superfly needed a *LOT* of lighting to render well...
This Superfly render used 36 pixel samples, no ''branched path tracing'', but ''progressive refinement''. Even with 512 bucket size and my twin GTX 750 Ti cards, it was s~l~o~w ...
Hopefully, LaFemme will get a nice plate of Black Forest Gateaux to make up for itchy-scratchy pine needles between her toes...
