This was produced with the Medium FG preset, 2 diffuse bounces, and the Reuse (FG and GI Disk Caching) tools.

The models provided on the DVD do not include any plants, however you can check out Marlin Studios and their excellent tree products:  http://www.marlinstudios.com/samples/samptreefarm.htm 

I'll be adding more specifics about producing the animation later!
