Sumatra is only a plugin to clone object that include trees model.
I think that not problem with kray because you only clone mesh.
On the oficial website are Sumatra Lite for free. Try this first and check.

I'm trying the lite version, but with five trees the render time is over 2h in 640x480...as if kray don't see the clone but calculate all object

I try this now and go fine. Whith 5 trees my render time are normal.

I set this to 100 trees and hard to render.

You can use this to speed up your render time

I never used Sumatra but I believe it doesn't create Kray instances automaticaly. I think it only creates object clones.

Yes Jure only create clone objects. I check this and work 100%.

You can use this whith Kray instance too.
Use the swap plugin here: http://www.kraytracing.com/forum/viewto ... f=2&t=1561 to convert clone objects to null
