Any good tree tutes?

[Darthlister]

Hey all,

Still working on the landscape and looking for a good "how to do a tree" tutorial.

 

I've got one, but having a hard time making it look full.

 

Thanks for any pointers,

Rich

Can you show your start and result?

There was a very cool iOS app called TreeSketch that made it easy to create trees, but alas, it seems to have been discontinued.

 

I found the rendering times for trees too high and so I ended up going with 2D trees. As long as you make sure they point at the camera, it worked well for me and I realized early on, that people rarely see the trees for the forest, so I got away with using only one tree over and over again. :-)

I modeled a lot of them to Anything Goes Contest early in 2012, I used treez plugin to trunk ( displacement map as texture) and hair to leaves...

I've made an attempt at developing a tree "kit".

The leaves shown in this tutorial use a proprietary EnhanceAM material but I've since developed a native AM material that is almost equivalent, as shown below.

 

 

If this meets you're expectations I can send you the zip file.
