Drawing a 3D tree in AutoCAD (my way)

There are different ways to draw a 3d tree, this is my option. This way consent you to draw the trunk using 3d objects like cone and cylinder and join them in an only object. Then you assign the texture to this and the trunk is done. The difficult is to draw a convincing crown of the tree. My way allow you to do this enough easily. There's a problem: the time of rendering is very long: for one only tree I spend until 30/45 minutes in high resolution, in middle resolution less than 10 minutes.
