Thoughts on low poly trees
-
AFAIK there is no locus command in sketchup.
Eh?
A locus is a set of points meeting a condition. E.g the locus of all points 6 inches from one point is a sphere 12 inches in diameter.
Consider if you had a tool that could create a volume with a surface that was X units away from an object. Essentially it would be a 3d follow- me, but would work more like push pull.
Now build a coarse main branch structure for a tree.
One. Object is grouped. Locus is the envelope of the entire group.
Two. Object is ungrouped. Locus is the set of the envelopes of each element.
Now, consider if you apply a translucent shade to the surface, you end up with a watercolour of the tree.
Workable?
(Now someone will tell me that its been done, it's simple, and instructions are found. . . )

Got some visual examples?
