Hi folks,

I'm creating new trees for Vue, everything works fine so far. See my actual TIP (= tree in progress), it's a Vue-render.
But now I have to face the problem with the foliage - is it possible to create it in 3DC? Maybe (hopefully *g*) I missed a particles - feature ?

Anyway, any other possibilities how to solve? I'd be rally grateful for all kinds of suggestions (except of the use of Blender *g*).

Thanks in advance
Yoro

No chance to create foliage in 3DC. Use the animation package of your choise for it. You can use 3D Coat for texturing the leafs later.

You could create leaves in a snap, and even scatter them by merging on pen and perhaps the curves tool (make a leaf and export an obj of it...from there place it in your 3DC directory), but the problem is that Vue uses 2D cards for it's leafy foilage

But how the leafs should be retopologized?

I think if I was going to make leaves I'd rather use something like LightWave's Fiber FX to make flat "billboard" leaves with a UV map so that leaf images can be applied.

You can use the free application called "An Ivy Generator"
