2d photographic poplar tree
-
Thank you very much

I had a go to see how good the shadow could be.
Attempt attached.
Use with Caution
The shadow could stretch some older computers.

John2, I used the freehand tool to create the general outline of the tree and the larger gaps on the interior. It appears that beginner spent a lot more time doing that, or used a different method; perhaps exporting from photoshop/illustrator as described by my friend, John Pacyga, http://sketchupland.posterous.com/tree-component-process and Alan Fraser: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=6687&p=42648

a faster way , a lot faster is to import the alpha map of it in illustrator, use the live trace feature to trace the outline. voila, then export to dwg. simple

That method works for Pro users who can import dwg. Free users would have to use one of the other methods. Thanks for the tutorial links.

John,
That's a great looking tree. Thank you. I hope you don't mind, but I modified the component so that the tree would cast an accurate shadow.[attachment=0:2qy7uf4n]<!-- ia0 -->Poplar with shadow.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:2qy7uf4n]
Hi this looks great, John. However when I download it is a "EXE" file that my Mac cannot decompress. Can you please post it here as a zip? If you have a minute. thanks
