I need some Southern Pine trees....I've tried scanning in a twig & trying to make my own but as usual..they look like !@#$....

If any modeler out there can make some...I'd be thrilled & I'm willing to pay as well :) You know...the thin kind that break in an ice storm LOL

TIA

If you can send me a photo for reference I can give it a go for you

I have no idea what a Southern Pine looks like as I live up north in Canada...brrrrr...(well actually we're having a heatwave today!) but have you checked out the gorgeous pines at RDNA? Mega Pine Package They can also be purchased in separate packages. :) Irene

I'd send you some but I think there's a law about chopping them down, something about National Lampoon last Christmas or somthing... If you want REALISTIC trees for Poser, the just click the link Irish posted. Can't beat them no matter how long your stick!!!

LOL...I'm glad we've brought Pines to the forefront.....Down here in the South...Most of the trees are pines :)

What part of the south should the pines be from? :p TMG

Have you checked out the new pine tree models at Runtime DNA? They might not have the exact species you're looking for, but they might be close enough. There's an extra bark texture set in addition to the tree packages. I bought one of the sets and love 'em.

there's some across the street..how big's your mailbox?..;)
I live in the (pine)Tarheel state..we're lousy with them. The needles are thin, barks sort of slightly curved and flaky, greyish in color. Needles are usually evergreen (natch..;), cones are rows of circular points that come apart individually (extruded faces, to all you modelers out there..;) They pollinate about April-May..;)

Did you have to mention their pollen? :(

I have the trees from RDNA(I love them as well)..They won't work for what I have in mind. Southern pines are just that....All over the southern tier of states GA/AL/MS/LA/TX/TN/KY/SC/NC/FL........Yep, BAD pollen mess...their buds of new growth are a yellowish green which leaves EVRYTHING covered in yellow dust...just yukky.

So they're pollen polluters?

ernyoka, they are very bad pollen polluters. I spend half the year with sinus yuckies. Kristta

Eww knock on wood I'm not allergic to anything. But I know enough people who ARE. Makes spring and summer the worst time of the year. And that's not how it's supposed to be :o)

Keep that chainsaw Kristta ROFL!!!! I hate those darn things.....everytime we have an icestorm they snap & crash onto powerlines & houses......

not to mention the resin (the aforementioned tar..;) Yeah, they pollinate for about 2-3 weeks down here, turns your car yellow-green, but fortunately it rains a lot about then, too..;)

I have a great pine tree in my front yard, and I'll be sad if it ever has to go (and I'm in the south!) I provides tons of pine needles for using around other trees to keep from having to cut around them. They do produce lot's of pollen, but not any more than these stupid bradford pears (or whatever they are) at work which dump tons of yellow green crap on my car (not to mention the mess those make after the blooms have all fallen!) eric
