Critique on my tree please

joshschmitt

I have been working on this tree for a while now, and it just does not seem right. I believe I failed at making the different colors of the leaves like I wanted to. I did and have looked at some tuts or information but cant get the same look or feel for a realistic looking tree. I also had some shading problems in the picture I will post.

Thanks for the help guys.





I did scale this in the engine so that could be a possibility as to why the branches are not as big as I intended, but I do see a problem with the leave not being to scale.

Right now all branches looks straight in the air.My suggestion loosen them and bend a bit.

Yeah as of now everything is jutting toward the sky. I think the biggest problem here is not exactly the branches, but instead the leaf texture. I'd just practice improving the placement of the leaf textures, and the actual texture itself. It looks to me like all of the branches in the texture are all flowing in the same direction. Try to make them branch off of eachother. I'd also keep the color variation to shades between green and yellow, but I wouldn't use that dark of a brown, it almost looks black. Hope that helps!
