I imagine it can't be done in Vue, and ya can't export a Vue tree... so, is there any kind of tip or trick to bending the Coconut tree? I've brought in about 20 of them one at a time, and I don't see much variation at all so far. How many do I need to look at before I find a cool one with more curves? BillyGoat

As vVue trees are always different from the previous, you will need to try lots. But... if ever you have a modeling software, you can do the following: create a curbed trunk, import it into Vue. Open a coconut tree, make the trunk invisible and add the leaves to your object that you have mapped with the coconut trunk mat from Vue :-). Lots of tutorials at my site (make the trubk invisible, create new trees...) Guitta guittalogo.GIF

Thank you! I figured it had to do with modeling... I'll hunt down the free programs listed. BillyGoat
