As you can see from the birch’s detail (2nd picture, left part, zoom to enlarge) it has 8k tris at LOD 0. Most of the trees have between 5k and 10k at LOD 0 and then always 50% of that for the higher LOD’s. So they perform pretty good including wind, but of course can’t look as good as high-poly assets like for a cinematic.
It’s a trade off between performance and looks, but I would say with 5k-10k it’s about as good as you can get if you dont use repetition (copying brances for example).
@Tymax: People actually want to buy them, and I don’t know of the “far better alternetives available” as you claim. Are you speaking of better performing or better looking ones? Would you mind giving examples?
Here some more uncommon ones ones as requested…“hanging” ones for cliffs or canyons for example:
