Here is a sample of the plants I have created in Carrara. The leaves are created by taking a simple leaf photo into the vertex modeler, outlining it with a polygon shape, and using the same photo in the uv mapper. No alpha channels and all are put in the plant editor so there can be random variations on the arrrangement of the branches/leaves. Once you get the system down, you can churn out quite a few in a relatively short time. Patrick
