amazing what a couple of textures can do when applied to a tree. This is my first go changing textures from the original one to real world textures. The leaf texture came from the web somewhere. I must hunt them down again. :) The trunk is one of mine. Cheers Neil

Very beautiful, I woulk like to know how big is the file. Thank you for showing us what Carrara is capable of.

Very nice tree,it looks very natural and realistic.

Makes me glad I didn't buy spend the extra cash and buy Xfrog! Chris

Most excellent! -Kix

Thanks Mikeberg, The file size is 468k plus graphics as I think these are stored externaly and that would add another 100k so it is not all that big. Chris, I wondered about xfrog and thought long and hard about Carrara as I have been using Vue d'Esprit for quite awhile now. But seeing how easy it is to make trees and the modeliers are great. Now to get some realistic ground cover and grasses. mmoir and kix , I'm glad you liked it. Cheers Neil

For grass and ground cover, look at anything grows at digitalcarversguild.com. It makes very realistic grass, just be warned that it makes a model for every blade of grass, and subsequently can make very big files very quickly.

Thanks douglaslamoureaux I will have a look at there web site Cheers Neil

u guys ever look at tree pro kinda costly but does very nice models

No majister, but if it is too costly my toy budget won't like it especially with our exchange rate. :) I will hunt it down anyway and have a look cheers Neil
