Hi Dan
I am having trouble down loading your "HOW TO " I end up with a solid black screen
But the early shots actually do look like gum trees, and that's a big plus.
Don

Dan, great tutorial only thing I would ask if you could perhaps spray out a few color chips for us so we can see what we are shooting for? Pat

Thanks Herb.
Don,
The file may take a little while to download (10.41MB). Link worked ok when I just checked it (will give you a black/grey screen as the download starts. Let me know if you still have troubles and I'll email you a copy.
Pat,
I was going to put in a few colour samples, but I tend to not stick to a strict formular (I gather you were refering to the foliage variations). I just add the yellow, and then the red to a visual liking. Some batches definately turn out more lighter or browner than others, but that all just contributes nicely to the overall colour variation.
Cheers,
Dan Pickard

Very nice article, Dan, and extremely detailed. Thanks much. The methods could even work with trees here in the US so the clinic becomes cross-cultural in that regard.
It is a largish file, taking about 30 seconds to open on my computer. The screen did remain black (a norm for some files) until I rolled the scroll knob (also normal).
Again, thanks much. I'll take time to read the clinic notes in full when I'm away from work; maybe during my lunch break.

Dan-I agree with everybody else, your trees are....TREES! Quite realistic and the techniques can be used for other types.

must have spotted me lurking around the forum again, and gave me a nudge about maybe posting some pics and info about some gum trees I've been modelling lately. Being an Aussie modeller, I can't get any more back to my roots than really having a go at modelling some of our iconic trees.
