Your tutorial is really impressive!
We are London based artists looking to commission a digital imaging expert in rendering trees.
We plan to recreate an actual oak tree with all its branches, leaves, texture and shadows in 3D digital form. The virtual tree will be the centre piece of a 2D rural English landscape scene with trees and cows.
The image will be produced as a high definition colour ‘photograph’ approximately 5 metres x 3 metres @ 300dpi i.e about 6 gigabytes.
Would you, or someone you know be interested?
Many thanks
Sincerely
David Cross
