Trying to come up with a simple way to model trees that are not fully opaque - 100% leafed, for the purposes of radiation / daylight and comfort simulation, when the tree is not fully opaque say in fall/spring and letting in a lot more light. For CFD simulation I can model a full sphere, and apply …
