A Solitary Tree . . .

[Kruzr]

‘Afternoon all . . . :)

This image was created after viewing Aurick's "ZScript Tutorial", on making vegetation in ZBrush. :D

The background I made in PhotoShop, being that you can't create a "Gradient Blend" in Zbrush, & the lense flair is also a PhotoShop item, being that I don't know how you would do a lense flair in Zbrush that looks realistic. I realize that the trunk doesn't look too proportioned, but when I first started this image, I was only playing around. After a while, it started looking pretty good, & I figured I wanted to keep it, but I didn't want to start over again. :rolleyes:

Anyway, the tree trunk & all the branches were created with one object, just kept deforming, scaling & then rotating it. The leaves were done with the "Fiber" brush, as instructed by Aurick. ;)

Thanks for the tutorial Aurick & you all have a good one . . . :cool: Mark.

Lovely. Beautiful. The leaves look very realistic. I'm glad that you have had so much success with the technique, so quickly. A big THANK YOU for sharing this very inspiring pic with us. :)

:tu: :tu: I certainly like the way that the tree looks silouetted (sp) against the skyline, which btw looks great, as good or better than a bryce sky. And the leaves look very natural with the right amount of color from the background, very cool.

I love your solution for the tree and branches. Simple but effective.

Great colors, too.

:D ;) :D

The realistic sense of the sky and the sunlight combined with the stylized cutout shape of the tree makes a great effect. Do you work for Disney? This looks like something from a film like The Lion King :tu:
