Inside T2 Magnolia

[MGebhart]

I did a quick test on a leaf, one render with alpha and one without. No impact that I could see.

Thanks, Marc, that saves me some testing.

Here is a completed Leaf Cluster rendered in Terragen. I will populate the tree with a ton of these. May take about 5 years.

They have glue now which dries quite quickly. Have you tried any of these?
This is really going to be a great looking tree Marc.

[Dune]

Great job, Marc, but what a longterm, tedious labor you're diving into.

[Walli]

I think it´s highly underestimated how long it can take to build a tree (or other plant), if you want to do something special and not 08/15
(not sure if 08/15 is common in english, it means something like bog standard I think)

[domdib]

8/15 isn't an English idiom, but bog standard certainly is!

[MGebhart]

Flower. This needs some tweaking which I'll do later. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

This is the final Tree model with all the textures applied. Color, Displacement and Specular.

The image has not been manipulated in Photoshop or other Graphic programs.

Suggestions and Crits welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Yea The Bark Texturee looks a lot better on this one,
and the tree geometry looks spot on.
Excelent job on the leaves, I can't wait to see
to see the flowering versoion.
