Reply To: COLLAB2021 – If You Wanna Have Some Fun – NATURE FG
I’m doing the MG trees and am futzing around with leaf size to keep the number of leaves I have to have for that bushy look down and am using the sapling tree generator. Maple style leaves are kind of large anyway, and if they can be just a little bigger than natural without being huge the # of leaves can go down quite a bit. These are probably too big.
I have a lot of work to do this weekend, but this is 3638 verts:
The weird dots are because the stems aren’t intersecting with the branches. I can either make the stems longer or make the leaves overlap the Y axis a bit.
It’s not perfect. I need the trunk to separate right in the middle for that Y detail in the image, and I do think the leaves could be smaller, but it’s coming along. I’d also like a more shell like distribution to the leaves. If they were focused more along the edges of the branches I don’t think I’d need nearly so many towards the core of the tree.
