Hi everyone. I tried to make the leaves of my forest using the colorized spray but it don’t worked well. The leaves appear to be painted in a wall and don’t add depht to the trees. Someone knows a way to make more realistic trees? I Wish that the leaves be like in the image below (this image isn’t mine, I took it from a forest chalenge in the CG talk).
Thanks
over time here at zbc ive seen a number of scripts, tuts, and tips about creating leaves and ways to create trees… and there’s only a few that pop in my head… this is what i would do,… first use zpheres to create your tree. and for the leafs, the only thing that comes to mind is a actual leaf texture,… basically round up some real leaves in your yard and scan them into your computer… import them into zbrush and create a alpha tool of your leaf,…then use the real texture to apply to your leaves,… obiviously this isnt a detail tip so you must search the quick links above to find more detail on this issue… i hope that ive helped you out maybe alittle…good luck
I also happened to stumble across this tutorial today …
It’s not for zbrush , but might give you an idea …

Thanks a lot for the helping. Namek the link isn’t working.
Hi palladin
With the spray, Draw first some volume3D and Spay it after with your leaves !
Put the Picker Continuous On !
It will be perfect ! As said Aurick below :

As I recall, it was Ken Brilliant who had a clever idea of drawing the tree and then on a second layer adding a bunch of medium-sized spheres to represent the mass of the leaves. He then turned off the trunk layer, created a new layer, and set the Picker to “Other”. This then made it easy to use Spray or Dots to put the leaves on. When he had them how he wanted, he deleted the layer with the spheres, which left just the trunk and the leaves.
