I only had a quick moment to post earlier, so I made the remarks for Mike. Now I've got a bit more time. :) Diana and Laurie, thanks for the comments, and I hope you can make wonderful use of the materials! Fox, Guitta made an orchid material for Vue that looks pretty awesome. (Guitta's website) I downloaded it sometime last summer, but I must admit I haven't yet had a chance to work with it. She also made some strawberry plants and periwinkles which are rather ingenious. They're basically images applied to plane objects so they're quite simple, but wow, they look incredible! All of these are available on her site. I just love Vue's vegetation. It was one of the main reasons I leaped for the program when I first demo-ed it, and I'm constantly being impressed newly with the adaptable features of the SolidGrowth. I eagerly await all new SG items to come forth; I hope version 4 reveals several new items. Mike, Guitta also has a simple tutorial on her site for how to make your own SolidGrowth leaves materials. Way back when, her tutorial is how I initially learned about the possibility. I've made a few additional discoveries along the way and modified my methods, but what Guitta has explained there is still very accurate and is plenty to get anyone started on their own designs. :)
