Useful curved tree line

[Gaieus]

Well, Oli, I would like to have a spherical background image of the surrounding of my town but possibly all the buildings edited out in PS so that I can use it for my archaeological reconstructions here.

Any chance to fly over here?

Hi Oli,

many thanks for your work. Thank you for your work and that you share it with us. Some days ago i had problems. Today i tried it again and these links are working fine.

Would it be presumptuous to ask what technique you use. I would like to make a contribution.

Wow! Thank you! This is a huge timesaver! "meticulously deleted all the sky"is an understatement... Laboriously... PAINSTAKINGLY... ouch! I've done this sort of thing in photoshop before(for single shrubs) and it is a huge pain! Thank you for sharing this!! especially for sharing the PNGs!
I hope the thank yous have caught up with the download numbers.... (on ShareCG my average is 900 - 1 or something like that.)
Thanks!

Thanks Oli, Native English trees are very much appreciated, I tend to use tropical plant components far too much!

[olishea]

Oli,

Thanks for the images. They are fantastic.

I haven't used png's in a while, could someone point me to a tutorial that shows how to create the shadow effect shown for the treeline? That's what happens when you don't use a technique for a few years...sigh.

Thanks,
