I think we're overhyping this just a liiiittle bit, lets wait till we see a gameplay video eh?
Ya, it looks like a tree, one little screenshot of a tree (that sun glare is awesome). But it's such a huge jump from Lugaru! It's like, "whoa Lugaru trees look pretty neat." but then, "Holy crap these suckers got multi-dimensions! Check out these puppies, they're growing!"
Can't you see it? This tree didn't even require a modeler, and look at it! It's the perfect model of a tree, it freaken grew itself!
If there were some way to grow trees in Lugaru 2, you bet I'd spend my time there! Wouldn't that be awesome? I mean Silb's idea may have been a silly joke, but that would be really fun. You could be growing you're trees, becoming a happy little farmer and then, wizzoh! The raiders come back for you and have no choice but to halt you're farming career and kick some ass. Totally kick ass scenario, I'd definitely play that part if I could, growing trees would be so awesome, I couldn't even imagine it. Good-bye Harvest Moon, here comes Lugaru!
And we haven't even totally, discussed all the possibilties of this program yet! As Nuky had mentioned, what about things like chopping down tre..

Does this mean you can chop holes and cut down trees with your sword/axe and such, and then, some days later, you come back and see that there's already a branch growing out?
But, this is just great! This engine... it rules.
See, that'd be hella sick too! The possibilities of trees is endless, David is starting with just growing trees, but later, more things could be added to flora to make them even awesomer-er. Cutting down trees and seeing them regrow, burning them down (sounds fun, I dunno), MOSS that could be eaten and stuff (make things slippery, I'd love to see Turner trip and hurt himself), maybe even some tree climbing, tree forts, houses made inside giant tree roots, wooden houses and lumberjacking. How can you guys be so placent (placent?) with this topic?
It's not just adding a new texture to trees, or making better renderings, it's actually growing them! The first step to realistic trees is growing them, David just broke another freaken record! And, It just happened to be trees this time!
