alice-teacher Populating A World With Trees

[Barnum, William]

Thanks for the information Matjaz and James.

What I ended up doing is I pointed the camera a the ground and set the y of
the camera to 225 because that was the highest I could go without losing
sight of the ground.

I placed some objects at specific coordinates for the border and then
filled in trees inside the area from a great height.

I also used the alt-drag method to quickly copy trees.
