Trees With Personality
Rotating Technique

By rotating two or more Vue trees together as one, entirely new, very rustic species can be created!

1 - Open a New file in Vue d'Esprit and select any atmosphere. 2 - Move to Layer 2. Grow a Red Maple Tree. (or other type) 3 - Open the Material Summary, choose the Leaves material, right-click and select Load New Material. Choose some nice alternate leaves such as my tRhodenburg. 4 - While your tree is selected, right-click on it in one of the views and select Copy. Then right-click and select Paste. This provides a duplicate tree over the original. 5 - Using the Top View, rotate the second tree about 90 degrees. 6 - Using the Side or Front View, make any adjustments necessary to align the second tree's trunk directly with the original tree's trunk. *Note: at this point, you may also wish to lower the second tree so that the first "crotch" of the trunk is at ground level. Note: if you want to move this "two-in-one" tree after this point, be sure to select both Trees before altering the size or position. This wireframe capture displays how the tree models are aligned for the technique described here. Render the scene and enjoy your new, personality-filled and rustic tree that no one else has!
