need help for tree!!

[priad]

I can't have good intersections. onyx or other are like cylinder in cylinder.

[RErender]

Why not just stitch up the intersections?

yea, using the new blend tool of max7 that should be possible
you still would have to map it yourself, though...

[priad]

ok, unfold is just a révolutionary soft to map complicated meshes.
I have started to modelise my tree (pic 1 & 2), In the project I will have white background and the public attention will be attrack only by the tree (without ambiance) so I don't think that i could have a good result with onyx or other.
I have seen the thread of "lgrohs" with beautifull forest and tree, but this is not the same thing. lgrohs have a forest ambiance. I must have a clinical ambiance but very realistic and in closer view to total view.
I don't know if you can understand me (my bad english) it's difficult to explain.
my two problem are mapping and make leaves natural falling.

[RErender]

Oh, why didn't you say so

For the leaves falling I would use simcloth, or reactor or the like.

[priad]

thanks rerender.
I have though to simcloth or clothfx, what do tou think about particle flow.
I think that the nearest leaves will be animate manualy, but for others...

Oh, why didn't you say so

I don't understand this. can you explain please

That was a joke Just that our language barrier was getting in the way...

I think the only way to get a lot of nice falling leaves in a sane amount of time will be to use a physics calculation. It's hard to imagine what you are going for though, got a story board?

[priad]

this first images are to illustrate a story board then if it run I'll make the movie. I need to have a rich approach of the subject to explain technical possibilities. I will know more after friday (this is my dead line).
thanks for your time Rerender.
cheers
