Trees With Personality
Leaning Technique

By leaning two or more Vue trees together as one, entirely new species can be created!

1 - Open a New file in Vue d'Esprit and select any atmosphere. 2 - Move to Layer 2. Grow a Plum Tree. Widen it in the Top View horizontally and vertically (X and Z), then lean/tilt it slightly to the right. 3 - Grow a second Plum Tree. Using the Top View, lean/tilt it slightly to the left. Using the Side or Front view, lengthen it a bit vertically., making it taller Now align the very bottom of the trunk so that it originates from the exact spot as Plum Tree #1. Note: if you want to move this "two-in-one" tree after this point, be sure to select both Plum Trees before altering the size or position. 4- Open the Material Summary, choose the Plum Leaves material, right-click and select Load New Material. Choose some nice alternate leaves such as my tMisty. This wireframe capture displays how the tree models are leaned and aligned for the technique described here. For this example, I have applied the same technique using the Winter Pear tree also, then replacing the Pear Branches material with my tBlossom2. Render the scene and enjoy your new, personality-filled trees that no one else has!
