Hello everyone!
This class will teach you how to create your own trees!
You've probably tried to create a nature scene, an exterior archviz scene, or concept artwork. You'll know how difficult it is to add vegetation to your scene and keep it realistic. There are many resources available, but sometimes it can be difficult to find the right tree.
We will use a free addon to create our tree scene. This allows us more freedom. We will then explore the many options offered by this addon. Finally, we will take a look at the leaf material, paying special attention to the translucent setup in order to achieve realistic behavior for the light.
Then, we will make some twigs to populate the tree.
We will then look at how to make different versions of the same tree, and keep it handy to add to our projects!
This class will teach you:
- How to download and install the Free Addon: Mtree
- You can create a basic tree shape or different branch levels.
- How to save and load different presets quickly
- How to make a translucent leaf material look real
- Make different twig varieties and populate your tree
- Quickly create different versions of the same tree
Here are the links to the addon and other useful resources.

I hope you enjoy the class!
Have fun and take care!
Victor.
