Modder's resource and esp

Description:
=================

Several new plants as modders resource. All models are static, they are not animated. (Dont ask me to animate them, because I do not know how to do this.)All the original models and textures were made by 
Yughues aka Nobiax (http://www.sharecg.com/pf/full_uploads.php?pf_user_name=yughues). A big thanks to him for creating them and making them available for unrestricted use!


Three different palm trees
Three tropical plants (Monstera, Bromelia, Palm Plant)
Two green bushes and a flowering bush in two colours (blue and red blossoms)


I think some modders can make use of these plants and so I imported them into the nif-format, modified and retextured some of them and made them game-ready for Skyrim. 

I include a demo esp to show these plants. I added them to the temple of Kynareth in Whiterun. No pathgrids/navmeshes were touched so this should not affect the gameplay. But of course this is only a demo, deactivate or delete the esp when no longer needed. 

A word on collision: 
There is still no method to create proper collision for Skyrim objects. There is a complicated workaround in 3DMax but I do not own and cannot handle 3DMax. 
So I copied existing collision from other objects of the game for the straight palms and the bigger plants except for the bent palm which I had to leave without collision. For this bent palm I suggest to add collision boxes to it in the game as a template which you place in a test-cell so you have to bother only once with the setup. Then you can copy and paste this template combination to the places in your mod where you need them. I added such a bent palm with collision boxes to a test-cell in the demo esp to show what I mean.
The bushes and the bush-like plant have no collision like the vanilla bushes in the game.
