Ever see a catalpa tree with popcorn flowers and great big leaves? Perhaps I shall try adding flowers to this mess..... :)

Really interesting soft depth to the foliage.

Thanks WASasquatch!

Here is one shown before, Blender sapling generator. This time in full sun. I tried to imitate lichen on the bark with some power fractals. Not really making a scene of this just practicing trees.

Good and convincing job on the lichen.

Like the "3D-ness" so far.   :)
So you use any kind of texture for your leaves (eg actual image)?

Thanks! Just a little ash leaf that was around, I didn't use the disp. bump on that, probably should try it.  :)

Very nice. You just need to work on that straight 'shore' up front.

Ooh, very nice. I like the second iteration I think more. Agree with Dune on the shore.

Thanks everybody!
Adjusted a few things for fun.
Back in the olden days (when we walked five miles to school in the snow, each way, no less) we used to make hazes and skies all sorts of colors, before we had objects to play with.  :)
Long time admirer of RArcher's work. Improvements in this program make it soooooo much fun.

Great update. A few more things you could try. Reduce reflection to 0.8, so maybe then the reflection of the right tree willbe less dark than the trunk itself, which might be nice. And reduce waves to almost still. Or use reflective (0.8) and smooth reflections (0.004).

Thanks !
Of course you are correct about the water. I forgot to smooth that because at one point I was trying some weird cloud stuff to try to imitate rain.....

Oooh love the lighting update. Agree with the reflections, the contrast of the image makes them a bit too strong looking.
