Gum tree

Support Modeling

Hello everyone again,
I have started a thread on this about three years ago and I was a bit of a nuisance, my apologies.
I have been trying to model a gum tree with the sapling addon, this is what Im trying to get.

This is what I’m getting

I’ve been having trouble getting the branches to point nicely downwards and Also to be more at the end of the previous branch instead of envenly distributed, so the branches end up bare and the end ones have leaves down the ends. :frowning:

Any help would be appreciated and I would like to thank you in advance
Kind regards,

Gum tree have lots of character. If you really want the tree model to look like that, you need to model it by hand. Here is how, in old Blender 2.49:

Hmm… I was afraid you’d say that. I will post any progress I make in case there are any people out there who, for some reason, want a gum tree.

Thankyouso much for confirming what needs to be done, ridix, you may not know it but you saved my weekend from lots of useless fiddling. :slight_smile:
