I looking for a more effective way to create trees. Find attached my first attempt, that I created out of circle mesh, making them smaller and smaller. This was a lot of work and as you can see from the picture, would require even more work to smooth it out, before texturing would even begin.
Plus I was wondering how best to approach adding leaves.
Any tips or hints would be most welcome.
banditkills,
It really depends on whether or not you want to model the tree yourself or not. If you just want a tree to use in a scene, then you could use a tree generator script such as the one foundhere.
Or you could use Arbaro
Either of these are a good option. Even if you want to model your own, you could use one of these options to see what the resulting tree looks like, and get an idea for how to proceed.
Best of Luck!
Thanks very much, I’ll shall check them both out.
If you’re looking for just a quick and easy way for creating trees check this tutorial out http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Scripts/Manual/Wizards/TreeFromCurves
It’s even built into blender by default 
Oh, cool. I will check it out.
Many thanks.
The latest one looks good, the only thing I can’t figure out is how to get the transform properties screen up.
Is there a key combo or access via sub menu?
The N key for the transform properties.
