Leaf colors, broader crowns and a failed smoothing study

The original willow was too pale for the lush direction. Local face/material selection changes leaf tones while retaining warm bark and cream petals. Applying smoothing to its disconnected surfaces broke the silhouette; that failed Blender render remains part of the history, and the intact source was restored. The repaired willow is reserved as a lake accent. The existing broad-crown study was reused and widened above its trunk, and birch upper branching was broadened. Fern review framing was corrected to show its full leaf span. These are standalone Blender renders, not proof of final Unity appearance. Measured from prepared v4 GLB files on 16 October 2026, Europe/Zurich: broad-crown high/distant meshes contain 1,452/319 triangles; birch 2,299/505; fern 1,411/310. Each high file contains one skeletal wind animation and one skin; distant files are static and all files are self-contained. The seven imported families reported looping clips of approximately 4.04 seconds in the Editor importer, but the pending clustered scene and final native rebuild still need verification. No new model generation was required for these revisions. All meaningful material/crown/failed-study renders remain individually reviewed under the vegetation-overhaul evidence session. Final lighting and ordinary village views are pending shared Editor recovery.
