can you tell me what softwares and rendering engine u use? if you are using vray then u can probably use xfrog, onyx and speedtree as a proxy in the scene. this will give you better result and also in short time. if you have any reference show it here for us to understand what exactly you are looking for

thanks a lot, i am using vray, and i have something in mind, respect nature objes like plants, things that i've seen in reality, like the shine of the leafs, and translucent efect of the leafs when the sun ligth from behind, the changes of the tone of leafs beetween olders and younger leafs,
and that kind of stuf,
i will try the tips that you give me, thanks a lot.
