I would need some hints on modeling a tree. I have to create 10 trees, each based on a real photograph. modeling the woodpart isn´t too tricky but adding all the leaves is.

could there be any way to use a vertex selection or something (maybe with mel) to randomly add all the leaves? if someone has allready done something like that and discovered a good workflow or knows a tool or script plz let me know.

info: those trees will be used for a realtime renderer, so bump and normal maps will be included.
