Don't forget to double click on a (any) provided Gel in Vue and then double click again on the Gel in the light Editor. This will give you the Gel Editor where you can load your prepared black and white image and save it as a new Gel.

It's been a long time since I've done any work on them, but from memory, I think Vue scales the image for you, Any format will do, that is, Tiff, Jpeg or PNG. Also just make the background white and the branches/ leaves black.
Good luck! and happy Vue-ing.

I still think you'd get much, much better results by simply placing a tree between the light and the object. It would take a very small fraction of the time too.
Gels are normally used as a workaround to get things faster, like, for example, simulating blinds in a window instead of making the actual blinds. Or simulating caustics, instead of spending a long time rendering real caustics. Using a gel for simulating branches and leaves could make sense in a software package that doesn't have trees natively, like Poser. But using it in Vue it's like using 2D painted backgrounds in Vue, IMO it doesn't make sense.
But hey, each to his own! :-)

Yes I do agree but I was trying to get them working and to understand them. In the end I used a tree. Thanks

To answer your original question (but not in a helpful way) on my hard drive in my personal materials collection. I've got a huge number of light gels I've made (of varying quality). I've been preping some of them to post on my web site and was going to start posting them (sometime) along with some new lighting tutorials. I'll try to remember to include the tree ones reasonably early.
