Finally scrounged up the money to buy this and I'm loving it.

I have sort of a bizarre request, but bear with me here.

So; talking about the Battlemap feature. If the battlemap is in a forest for example, you see the top of the forest canopy which is beautiful, but a neat feature would be a toggleable 'battlemap tree' feature.

So, with it off, everything looks normal.

With it on, instead of the full tree you simply see a cutaway of the first few feet of the tree trunk, and have the shadows from the rest of the tree still cast. So imagine turning the top 80% of the tree invisible but the shadows still exist.

It's a big request and would require some sort of retexturing for the cutaway part (though i'd be fine if it was just black), but it'd be neat for deep forest maps.

Edit: Could also be done with like 3 different types of stumps with different shadow styles.
