Trees With Personality
Multiple Technique

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

1 - Open a New file in Vue d'Esprit and select any atmosphere. 2 - Move to Layer 2. Grow three Trees.. (I used a Sonneratia for this tutorial, but any trunked tree will do.) 3 - Align all three tree objects vertically if necessary. (If you grow them one right after the other, they will already be vertically aligned.) 4- Just for fun, open the Material Summary, choose the Leaves material, right-click and select Load New Material. Choose some nice alternate leaves such as my tCloudyAsh. 5- Select tree #1 and using the Top View, stretch it in the X (horizontal) and Z (depth) directions about twice as far as the original. 6 - Select tree #2 and using the Side or Front View, stretch it in the Y (vertical) direction so that it is taller than tree #1. 7 - Select tree #3 and enlarge it globally until it is much larger than #1 or #2. At this point, your wireframe will look something like the below. I have included a normally-grown tree for comparison. 10 - Now render and see what an interesting tree you've created! I've included the normally-grown Sonneratia so you can easily discern the incredible difference that can be achieved.
