TREE LAB leaf template 2

Created by rashadcarter1

A photograph based version of the original. This preset almost serves as two tutorials in one. Importing real photographs adds tons of realism to your materials if you know how to manipulate photographs in Bryce. Notice also the glow of passing light. The preserved glow is the second and more profound tutorial here. When you create a default tree and add this material to the default leaf, you may need to adjust the image position along the Y axis by 5 units. Edit the leaf in "actual selection" mode to make sure the photo fits your leaf. Test this material out as you continue to closely observe real plant life. Trust the settings that I have provided for you before making tons of changes of your own, as this looks easy, but it is not. This trick is very tricky indeed. Some of the settings I have provided might seem arbitrary, but the materials have been tempered and balanced for maximum flexibility and believability. Enjoy
