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.

Those are very creepy trees. They look like they are approaching the castle.

duplicated how? I mean is the tree one mesh or is it a bunch of meshes grouped? could you show a wire frame?

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.

Some of the bits and pieces that make up the tree.

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.

that is an AMAZING method Garry - and it has AMAZING results! The next time I'm modelling a plant, I'll do it that way.

I decided to have a go at making a Trebuchet.

Here it is so far.
