for those of you who are interested, just a wireframe and some images to show the steps I went through while making "Edge of the old forest"

here are the trees I made in wings.... both started as spheres, I extruded the top half of the sphere upwards, and kept extruding branches and limbs. once I get the process down, I think i'll make a tutorial for it.

Here is the postwork process--- After I finished blending the gradient map, I messes with the color levels, b$w levels, and saturation until I got the effect I wanted.

Amazing.....Trees?! in wings3d!?? Whodathunkit! off to experiment.

There's a wings tut on creating trees in it....

The atmosphere is superb. Best foggy scene I've seen in a long while. Is the fog a volumetric mat?

Amazing atmosphere and trees woodhurst! Yeah,like you I can see that Wings is good for a heck of a lot more than vehicles, buildings, and Orcs. This is a hi-poly conifer base I made for close-ups. I use Bryce treelab foliage with it and make the trunks invisible. I started with a cone primitive to make it. I still would like to see your tree tut.

i love this 'behind the scenes' stuff

I agree with what rj001 said. It's this behind the scenes stuff (especially the postwork side of things for me) that makes these threads so useful. Thanks Woodhurst.

I agree with rj001 and Flak. You often do these, and they are very much appreciated!

I agree with rj001 and Flak and johny mc gee

danamo - I'm lusting after your conifer. very nice work :)
