DESCRIPTION:
The model produced an 3D leaf structure based on a single image as texture.

HOW IT WORKS:
The texture will be subdivided in an initial step into a specified number of parts. Each of this part will be applied on a single parallelogram to model the shape. The leaf module offers four parameters: len - total length of the leaf, numberOfSequences, finalBendingAngle, foldingAngle; If the folding angle equals to zero, the parts will be not divided in the middle. The leaf is the a sequence of parallelograms.

THINGS TO NOTICE:
The initial step of dividing the texture need some time.
