So that's instancing inside an instance, bit like inception! Go deeper and instance bugs on the needles
. Yeah i meant just a close up render to see the glory of the details. You should do full geometry skp too so trees can be rendered in other apps as instances. Has sapling plugin improved/developed or is it still the same? -
the process is a bit involved but the end result in terms of close-ups in controllable.
i won't go into the whole process as it is incredibly boring.
but in short i start by creating a section of branch using real geometry. I render out 8 variations as .png....
...these a particle systems on a cylinder.
I then create the trunk using the skin modifier.
I then add particles and arrays to the trunk to generate the branches.
job done...
what's controllable is the initial branch render. So the higher res you go with that the closer you can get with the camera...
this tree is 5mb as a .skp which isn't too bad considering.
again my drive to stay away from nested components provides a big performance boost in SU.

Just super models.
Please pub the SU files as even large landscape models can be used for face-me images when turned and scaled a bit in SU.
Also even big single models can be exported to Artlantis which can handle really big files and be used as ATL objects.Thanks for the really good work
