*A:M User* Roger Posted December 12, 2016 *A:M User* Share Posted December 12, 2016 So I've got a good start here on an old-school Christmas light. Not sure if I should add a point source light to it in addition to the glow material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 12, 2016 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 12, 2016 You'll only need a light if you need the lens flare effect OR if you need it to actually illuminate something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Roger Posted December 12, 2016 Author *A:M User* Share Posted December 12, 2016 I don't really need to do either. I haven't decided if I want to go old-school lights or if I want to do the mini lights. Maybe I will do a mix, or try both and see which I like better.

*A:M User* Roger Posted December 12, 2016 Author *A:M User* Share Posted December 12, 2016 Well I'm going to do both the twinkling lights and the old-school, I think. I've been playing around with generating a pine tree via the Treez plugin and so far I'm not happy with the results, I don't really think it is meant for conifers/evergreens, and due to the nature of the branch and trunk style I think it may be better to just model the trunk and branches separately.

*A:M User* Roger Posted December 12, 2016 Author *A:M User* Share Posted December 12, 2016 Ok, I think I have a really good start at a pine branch here, what do you guys think? Now I just need to clone a few hundred of these to build my tree. Too bad I can't turn them into some sort of fractal hair emitter, that might make it quicker.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 12, 2016 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 12, 2016 I really think the treez plugin is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Roger Posted December 13, 2016 Author *A:M User* Share Posted December 13, 2016 I must be missing something incredibly obvious because I haven't figured out any way to make pine branches with the Treez plugin, only deciduous type trees.
