That's what it was supposed to be, Mike. xD I made a couple of palm trees but I'm not sure about them. I made the leafs with transparency maps, maybe I should model it all.

By te way anyone knows if there is a way to show transparency in the viewport, I mean transparency applied in the object... You can in 3ds but I don't know how can i do that in maya
