FINALLY getting around to your submission @ullreym! It’s no surprise that you did awesome work for week 1; more than expected. You’ve earned full points+ extra for the effort 👍
I was going to suggest filling out the leaf volume a little more (rather than being limited explicitly to each branch) but you’ve already updated your week 1 version with this implemented. So cool to see you draw a simple tileable bark texture on the left for sculpting on the right! That’s brillinant! My puny brain would have required me to download one from the internet. I’m going to remember that technique.
My only note is that the sculpted bark feels a little to realistic. I’d like to see it stylized with less fine frequency detail – more emphasis on crevices and “mildly sharpened growth patterns” if that makes sense. Here’s some pictures worth 1000 words:
Does this direction make sense?
