It’s still surprising that GoogleEarth works smoothly with 20.000 billboards. I did quite some testing with large Sketchup models in GoogleEarth and even on a high-end computer, I reached the limit for billboard trees pretty soon.

SketchUp animatons are easy to spot because of the “sharp turns” between camera transitions

if you look closely at the video you see that the trees are billboards, not real 3d.
So that shouldn’t be to hard on the system
