Hi, I know some of 3D. Oleg is right about the jumping arcs. And your idea "as a whole" can't be done, because you would need a lot of objects of the same detail "as a whole" too, otherwise your hedges will look like an awkward sharp "net" over the landscape until far into the distance, while all of the rest of the objects are blurred away in the atmosphere. (at least that is how it would look if I understood your idea correctly). You have to put all things really into the same "system of laws" that you have established (distance of rendering, detail of rendering)...giving one thing a free "rogue" permission will just result in horribly awkward pictures.
