I don't know much about their algorithms and I probably aren't allowed to talk too much about it either. Their main strength is that they have chosen good parameters to influence the generation of a tree, and they have an nice system for generating each level and choosing them at runtime. They also have an instancing system to reduce state-changes and the runtime-core is naturally API-agnostic.
Something like that would definately be cool as it would both be a ton of polys together with LOD-out-of-hell so the amount of detail would be pretty staggering. Couldn't we just grab a number of different huge models (from the archives) and place them in one scene?
