When I load up Palm Road

The leaves from the Palm trees do not show up. They didn't show up in render either. The trees look like sticks. What gives?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

    they are hidden by default, after Andrey Pestryakov products are not very ressource friendly.

    just unhide them, before you render.

    From the read_me

    • First start:

      • The scene consists of LOD 1, 2 and 3. For normal work with the scene in preview - LOD 2 and 3 turn off by default. Please turn on LOD 2 and 3 before rendering, and when check the intersections with your other objects and plants of the scene.

      • In the “Scene” tab, open the “Palm Road Preload Iray” group and select the desired LOD to enable or disable. You can open the group's LOD to turn off any other objects.

    • Materials:

      • There are additional materials for Fence and Phoenix Trunk with displacement and without displacement in this pack.

      • If you install the camera not far from these objects, then you will apply the displacement for better detail.

      • Also there are two kinds of displacement for Phoenix Trunk,: displacement 2 and 3. Displacement 3 is more detailed, you should use it if the camera is nearby.

      • You should use Displacement 2 if a sharp shadow passes through the trunk in the rendering time.

    • Light:

      • If you have difficulty with the light, you can always use the light setting that comes with the scene: Palm Road → Iray Light → Palm Road Iray Sun-Sky Only.

    Thanks, guys. You are right. I should have looked there to begin with. My problem now is that Even if I click the eye icon, it won't become visible.

    @Granville, For future reference, when you hide a group, all of the groups and objects within the group will remain hidden. The "LOD 3" in your image is a group. So is the "Phoenix Canariensis Palms Leaves". Until I figure this out, it drove me crazy that I couldn't get the visisbility "eye" to open!

    Thanks everyone. I really appreciate it. The environment is so beautiful.
