Impostor: Billboard cloud for vegetation
The billboard cloud aims to replace the objects in a scene with a view independent set of billboards. For vegetation assets the "Billboard mode" should be set to "Foliage" .

The leaves should map to the billboards in a manner that keeps the perception of volume and silhouette close to the original tree.
