If you have short grass, then behind that at the same elevation a bush, then a low branching tree, the game will run slow.

-Once this is done you can use the scatter object tool ([[Image:IconScatterObject.png]]) to place specific examples of the vegetation you've added controllers for.
+This combines having to choose a type of vegetation model
 Since the names of these models can often be a bit inscrutable, a list of Vegetation Models with Screenshots mainly for this purpose is available.
