Thx Dave,
Hadnt thought of using the efx trees as a base to take into Zbrush, that sounds good. Always wanted to do those ancient gnarled trees, full of character and story. Will be studying trees so I know just how to make em. We look at things but not 'AT' things I think. Just need a way to do the smaller branches without creating and meticulously placing a hundred of em lol. Branch cards instead of leaves maybe.
In any case thanks again
Scott
