Tree modeling tutorials

[paintbox]

I think the easiest way is just to begin with a cube, lengthen it, subdivision on and then extrude more and more branches untill you have something that resembles a tree trunk. If you want leaves just use a lot of image planes of leaves, or use textured 2D particles (I dont know if the latter is possible with Blender) Thats how I did it. Ill post an image later.

Here it is, this is the best I view I could find on short notice, its from an archviz WIP I did a while back...

The leaves are just image planes, as you can probably tell by the sloppy positioning I did :) It was made with C4D (not blender)

isn't there an other way modeling realistic trees in blender?

theres the script lsstem, a tree generator. but the reference is more than unsufficent!

does anyone one if theres a better reference to lsystem or can write a big tutorial?

you could always use arbaro, could you not? there are a number of species presets. i export to .obj which blender can import.
