Well with the great plug-in that Marcel made I thought I'd try to make it even easier to build trees for background props. And why keep it for myself. I just would like to see what other people can do with it.
-
A link to the project is on the Animation:Master forum. Trees with leaves thread.
-
I just want to thank John for putting the project on his web site. Thanks again. I just hope it was worth it.

I got the zip file down to 3.4 megs and I am working with someone to try to bring it on-line.
-
Cool. That would make a great screensaver.
-
22 megs zipped through XP. Don't know if zipping through winzip would be any better.

Hi, looks good but the shotglass looks a little thick at the rim. Maybe move the hat a little to the left too.
-
I'm not much of a critic, but you have two five point patches next to the ear. The one closest to the ear you could end the one spline in a hook.

Is anyone having trouble saving a hair material with an image or a model that has hair material with an image that is not in a project? I reported it to Hash, but it is not fixed yet. I thought it might be just me.
-
The treeswithleavs project is ready, but it's too big to post here. Any suggestions on where I can post it? That is if anybody is interested. It has 26 images, 5 materials, 6 models and three actions. Added a few sliders to the models. And added the material right to a tree target model to use with the treez plug-in to save a few steps.
-
I did notice something strange today. The color of the model was rendering wrong (defaulting to original color). But I saved the project and reopened it and it rendered fine. The layers for the bigger forest worked well.
-
Well thanks to you I now know I can add animation to the hair image. Now if I render that with an alpha channel, I could add it to a chor as a layer and build a bigger forest. I'll have to try it out. By the way, how is the tree cloth going?

Hi John
Tried your idea with my leaves project. Animated a couple of trees.
-
Here's my first attempt at adding tree movement with a slider.
-
Try hitting the spacebar to refresh the frame. If that doesn't do it, go to view on the toolbar and then refresh. Hair doesn't respond very quickly.
-
Try hitting the spacebar or view/refresh on toolbar to refresh the hair material on that frame to bring it to where it is supposed to be before rendering. Hair is a little slow in refreshing itself in realtime.
-
Is anyone having a problem with saving an image with a hair material? The image doesn't import back in when loading the hair material or a model with it applied. It only seems to stay if it is saved in a project. I reported it to Hash last week, but I guess it didn't get fixed for the lasted release. I'll have to wait til next version to see if it gets fixed.
-
Try wireframe for hair it will help. It happens to me too if I work with hair a long time in shaded mode. And it seems to be a slowdown with the new version. All the changes to the hair system screwed my project I'm working on all up. Hair seemed better in the last version to me.

He looks great, but I have one suggestion. He needs claws.

Here is a dynamics test with the toonleaves model.
-
Ran into problems with the new 11.0b update, but I think I'll be able to work them out. So in the meantime here is the toonleavs model to test out. I would like to see some of the results of your tests please. It will keep me motivated to keep working on the project. The bushes are the default model, just scaled and slider changes. The trees are imported into the model and the material dragged into your group, just like the other model was. Deleting and renaming still apply. This is designed to not use a leaf image.
-
Heres a pic of the toonleavs applied to trees. The bushes are just the base model that hold the sliders.
-
How about some toon plants for my project.
-
I was playing with dynamics and forces today. Here a test movie. The three models are the default settings in the project I'm working on. Stilling tweaking the settings. Made things easier.
