Hi,
I’m working on this tutorial:
Tree tutorial
I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me which plug-in(preferably a free one) i could use to make the leaves!
I’m using 3ds Max 2008 and am a beginner.

Thanks in advance!

a method: read up on “scatter modifier” is able to scatter certain “objects” on a surface in ways you can determine yourself and afterwards apply a cutout map on the scattered objects (the leaf itself)

this is one of the many ways, i’m offering one, you can read up on it if you like smile greets

Wow, that’s great...very useful! thx smile
But is there a better way to make the leaves like on the last image in the tutorial I linked to?
With this technique i have to make the branches very dense in order to get the leaves as dense as they are on that image.
