Here I used the Plum tree, and applied your blossem jpg leaves.. (the first one that has pink flowers and bits of green leaves).. but I went into photoshop and selected the bits of green and made them a pink too - for the tree on the left.. then I went back into photoshop and made all the blossems white for what you see on the right... Of course I saved each new tree material with a new name.... I hope that is okay to do, Varian.. this is so much fun and I am desparate for blooming trees as I watch our warm weather bring out the blooms! Now, My request.. since you are SO good at this.. do you have the Acacia tree in the extra veg's ?? It's leaves are so light colored... real acacia leaves are dark green.. can you make a new leaf exchange to make the gray-ish leaves a nice darkish green? Pretty please if you have time?? It would really make all the African images so much more realistic!! Lyne

Hey, cool modifications, Lyne! I really like the white one a lot. Trees amazing have so many different colors besides just regular green, great looks all year 'round~ Guitta gave you the best tip for simply altering the color of a texture map. Vue 4 makes that so simple to do. It can also be done in v.2 and 3, but one needs to use Mix Materials to add the color "tint". :)

OH good, I am glad you like what I did with your leaves!! I am always concerned about how the artist feels about modifiying the textures.. I used your leaves a lot in my gallery image called Endangered Speicies... the more fantasy leaves were just right! :) Lyne
