The Tree consists of a subdiv cylinder tapered stretched twisted and duplicated a few times stretched a bit more pulled, rotated and pushed till I was happy with it.
Time consuming but reasonable results.

duplicated how? I mean is the tree one mesh or is it a bunch of meshes grouped? could you show a wire frame?Originally posted by Garry1953
The Tree consists of a subdiv cylinder tapered stretched twisted and duplicated a few times...
I made mine by stetching a cylinder and then extruding faces off it for branches and putting it thru various deformations but as a method it sucks - all the branches are square or rectangle shaped and then by smoothing them the poly count just skyrockets - not that that's such a concern for a scene but when one tree has so many and you want to duplicate it a few times it gets silly.

I use individual branches and combine them for the final composition rather than try to make the tree out of a single poly.
I hope this helps.

P.S. the logo on the shield is my real family crest.
Nothing like a severed pigs heads, to stir the imagination.
