I posted a tutorial which shows how to create realistic looking fall trees by using procedural colors in the leaf mats. I will also be uploading a few trees to the free stuff section later today.Enjoy!!!

Very nice tutorial. One thing to add: you mention that you can modify the material in two ways. There's also a third way which might prove very useful, and that's to use a clipping filter in the color production area. By starting off clipping, say, all above 10%, then progressing right through successive frames to clip all below 90%, you could animate a tree turning from green to yellow very easily.There's a (very) short .avi for download at the link which shows what I mean - it's about 3Mb long, if you are on dialup.

Cool Stuff!!! I didn't even think about using the clipping filter. I'm going to have to give that a try. Thanks!!!!
