The export is so large because you have far too many vertices/faces. Probably the trees. If you took the default cylinder-creator, each trunk section/branch has 32 faces. Multiply that by the number of sections the tree has (likely 10+). Multiply that by the number of trees. Perhaps you can use this as an example of the limitations of modeling this.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Our project is late!

Yeah, definitely too many vertices. For the lepidodendrons, I think one type of them had like 5,000 vertices because I used the subdivide tool too much! Yikes, huh? And I did mention that 5,000 vertex lepidodendron in my report too. Unfortunately I forgot to add in Trylon's PyPRP 101 information, a fact which I noticed several hours after mailing my report in.

And sorry Chacal...I'm afraid that I don't plan to give you guys any coauthor credit (unless I get a bad grade).
