A tree I made with Arbaro when Blender still had not the Sapling add on, that made things very much easier. It has a relatively small amount of leaves. Better for use in landscapes, perfect if seen from a certain distance. A little bit of sculpting on the trunk should give more kinda realism, but also slow down your render times.
The trunk is not textured, but you can easily grab a good seamless bark texture from CGtextures.com .
I love your take on this issue! You’ve explained it in a way that’s easy to follow. For others who want to continue the conversation, 꽁머니토토사이트 could be a useful resource.
thanks.
