I started out yesterday just trying to model a windchime. Well as you know, one thing always leads to another. So by the end of the day, and into the night, I came up with this image and a windchime (now to animate it). Don't know remember where I got the tree but it really works well. A little choppy at the ends of the branches, but other than that, it really shines. Thanks whomever! The tree texture is a picture rather than a procedural texture. And I think works much nicer. just thought I'd share. It's a little fuzzy, but that's just the jpeg compression, the full size is beautiful. James
