3d pine tree

I like it Thanks for sharing!

Thanks

Is the rotation of the branches based on a Fibonacci series? I guess the branckes are a png file. Regardless, it is a very nicely modeled tree.

Thanks. Light model, but looks good in Thea...with a bit of transparency added.

it is an old model, mate. I modeled it when I was too noob, but based on my everyday experiences.

Thanks, it is a good model!

Thanks Majid. The model looks like a Leylandii, used much in this neck of the woods for wind breaks.

I revisited the old model and re-textured branches, some tweaks on trunk and etc, seems a bit better.

It's a nice model but it's NOT a pine. Leyland cypress, some cedars, and some columnar juniper look like this. If you put leaves instead of needles on it, it would look much like tower poplar or lombardy poplar.

1. As a group pines tend to be open. Often the shade underneath will be dappled.

2. Typically only the last few inches to a bit over a foot of the twig will have needles on them. Conceptually a pine tree is a bouquet of bottle brushes. This is true of spruce and fir also, but these trees are often so thick you can't see the bare branches on the interior.

3. Most pines will start to shed their lower branches as they get older. Often the bottom third of the trunk in a 50 year old pine will be straight with no side branches.

Sherwood, why don't you make one like you describe and share it here so we can all learn from you?

I was trying to model this:
http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%B3%D8%B1%D9%88_%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B2
that is a generic iranian pine (i guess pine)
