Environment Modeling

Below are tree models i made for the exterior environment. i did the texturing in mud box with relative ease. The most challenging thing about making the trees was working out how to do the leaves. I experimented with making a small selection of leaves and making that into a brush, which i painted onto the tree, but it looked a bit stupid. I couldn't get a thick gathering of leaves, so we opted for the trees to be bear and more autumnal. to UV map them i cylindrical mapped the larger branches and the trunk, then automatically mapped the remaining smaller branches. This was done for each of the trees.
