Can someone help me with my tree?

Okay, So I'm working on a New Zealand Bush environment for shits and giggles but I'm running into some problems. I'm still getting use to this current generation and I just wanted to know am I allowed to crank up the ambient of the texture just slightly to help my ferns and leaves 'pop'? Also, Is there a simple engine that i can throw my work into to see if it works? right now i just use my Maya view port but it's obviously really limiting in what it can show.

You can do whatever you want. If you want something to pop, you can multiply Ao maps twice or three times if you want depending. Whatever looks good in the end result.

is that light yellow? If it is, I would turn down the color to .013 ish.

The Marmoset Toolbag is a easy to use model viewer. You will need to make your alpha plane polygons back to back in order to get proper lighting on them in Marmoset.
