-We propose an alternative method where the topology of a plant is still defined by algorithm, but structural shape is defined by the texture images used as components of the plant.+This is an alternative method where the topology of a plant is still defined by algorithm, but structural shape is defined by the texture images used as components of the plant.
  
 This also allows us to put much more detail in the textures, and build plants out of fewer components. This also allows us to put much more detail in the textures, and build plants out of fewer components.
