As you have found, these are not easy trees to model. Your version shows promise, and you are right that the needles grow in clusters toward the ends of the branches, pointing upward rather than down. Jurgen, to whose site you directed me, captures the look of the needles on very young trees quite well. Really mature trees, which can reach 50 to 65 m, however, have the more open look you achieved and a darker color.

I tried to make a radial pattern...but I think the amount of branches is not enough to show on the picture and indeed I have to model those tiers...( this tree: only 45 branches) Right now I am making a frame with twice the amount of branches...plus glueing the fibers pointing up.....hope it will look just a litlle bit more like a white pine...it is just try and error....;-) Jos Edited by - scotchpine on 02/27/2013 03:26:34 AM Country: Netherlands | Posts: 332 mabloodhound Fireman Posted - 02/27/2013 :  11:02:40 AM     Nice work Jos. On the white pine, make sure the top is full. They have a real 'bushy' top like Frank's first photo.

Their trunks remind me very much that of all the "platanes" I've seen in southern France during my youth.

The foliage is also quite realistic. Did you use lasercut individual leaves? Country: France | Posts: 17638 scotchpine Engine Wiper Posted - 04/13/2013 :  2:19:50 PM     Thanks Frederic, The leaves and the small twigs/branches are natural products! here a link to a company in Belgium that sells/trades this kind of "foliage"...

When I'm making my trees it always feels like I have poured on to little so I pour on some more. All of a sudden it is to much instead Håkan Country: Sweden | Posts: 1504 scotchpine Engine Wiper Posted - 05/07/2013 :  5:35:29 PM     Thanks Håkan! quote: When I'm making my trees it always feels like I have poured on to little so I pour on some more. All of a sudden it is to much instead It is all about trail and error!! May be also the very light background on my pictures( blue sky)let it look like the trees are very "airy"??
