      Thanks, Urgen, always a pleasure to please you!

      And thanks, David, so glad to hear whenever the purse-strings like the look!

      Per your question about east coast natives: I've generally given up trying to build specific varieties of trees in favor of painting them...and wonder if that approach might work for you needs. I whipped up this "Nutmeg Hickory" this morning. It's made from a general loose-style leaf-mass png I am making for a bunch of different tree types. The specifics would come from how the trees are sized and shaped, and somewhat from the subtlties of the coloration. Love to hear your thoughts...?

      Love to hear anybody else's thoughts too!

        Sorry too to hear it, Pete...all the good and big projects from last year are on hold: back east they were either for the money-movers or needed to be funded by their donations; hereabouts it's state work with no funding available (maybe Obama will help with that :`)

        Bottomline: a couple sheets of stair detailing (or even roof details) would taste pretty good right now (same email BTW guys and gals :`)

          I'm fine with trees that look similar to the real ones. I do find that some of your trees that are really saturated don't work with some of my models because they tend to be distracting... but I always tone them down a bit it the material editor. So if you could just keep that in mind... thanks once again!

              Tom, I will purchase one of your disks. I've loved all the trees you've put out. I would certainly like to own a collection of them. You might consider providing them as skippy files and png files. That way Photoshop users and Piranesi users as well as Sketchup users would be able to use them.

              Best as always.

                  Tom,

                  I'll buy a CD also. Paypal would be the best option I imagine.

                    Thanks M and M...always a pleasure doing business with you :`)

                    David, have finally clued in to the same and often mentioned thing and I'm hoping I've cut these back closer to the right amount...?

                      ...(in SU5 you can pick the image with the alt-bucket picker to edit just like any other material...SU beyond 5 you'll have to explode the image and hide the 4 edges)...

                      As of just a moment ago, the above statement appears to be pure hockum: you can indeed use the alt-bucket picker in SU6 and 7 without exploding the image...sorry for the confusion (really: always sorry when I'm that confused...?).1239.gif

                        Tom I use your trees in nearly every project I do, the least I could do is buy a disc from you 😄

                            Been playing around this morning with different options on the same leaf png in the same tree...whadaya think? Also, really would like/need some feedback from you downloaders about the color saturation issue, thanks. I want to get that resolved before I make more pngs...much harder to fixthem later.

                              I downloaded a couple of your watercolour trees and they're brilliant.

                              I'd be happy if you made some more mate and would be please to buy them

                                  Hi,

                                  The latest ones are looking excellent especially the last bunch, infact i just used some of your trees in one of my scenes and must say they really added to the scene (my boss loved them) if i can get his Ok i will try and post some of the scenes i did. 👍 👍 👍 😄

                                    I like your trees very much. As for the saturation issue, I think that you can make them as colourful as you like. For the user it's far easier to tone them down if necessary than to spright them up. That can be done with the material sliders, but increasing saturation on a grayish tone either produces nothing or is quite unpredictable.

                                    Anssi

                                      Love to see them, Sintra...that kind of complement warms the belly.

                                      My thought too, Anssi...but some of mine were just as hard to tone down as these are to brighted up, so I'll be trying to find a middle ground: and will need more of this kind of help from you guys, thanks.
