Tell the truth, when I first saw them, in the first post and this one, I thought that the textures were darn near perfect. Most of what is done for plants in 3D work looks too good to be true. I thought that these had just the right amount of wear and tear.

I would probably go as far as making transparancy maps for them to rough up the edges a little bit. Give them that extra little bit of worm-chewed realism. :)

If I remember correctly, 3D World magazine had a really good tut in it about texturing a leaf. Might want to check their website and see if its there.

Anyway, HTH, and good luck with the DTE in Bryce. I've made a couple of forays into it in the past, to "really learn it", and I'm still reeling from the experience.
