Was taking some cycles tutorials and stumbled onto this application that makes trees. We can always use more trees. Arbaro I did have to texture this California Black Oak once I imported the tree as a Wavefront Obj. and to save render time rendered in comicbook color. But you get the idea ... and it is free.

Nice. I'll have to check that out.

Boy, can I use that! I was just looking for some tree models.

It's nice that you can change the seed and get a different tree of the same species. Here are two California oaks in one scene:

Yes, used it years ago. I believe there were also some textures made by others - would require transparency in Poser Material room. Can't recall the details. Been a while since I've used it.

I just used a couple of textures, a brown dirt texture for the trunk and stems, and a green mossy-looking texture for the leaves. I just made the textures from a couple photos I found. Since my use is for a comic book style, it doesn't have to be too realistic to begin with. Just be sure to turn off specularity or you end up with "shiny" tree trunks like I did.
