Norwegian Spruce - Blender Personal Project

Final render of Norwegian Spruce Model with lighting and background.

Here's a render I did to see the final look of the model once I was happy with the intensity of the lighting.

Here's a screenshot to show the comparison between how the model looks in the Blender viewport to how it looks in the render view.

Here is how the final look of my tree model looks in the Blender viewport with the textures visible.

I then decided to add more branches to make the tree bushier.

Once I was happy with the settings and a floor plane was added I did my first render.

I then used Hypershade to link up the texture maps to the tree and added a HDRI to the skydome for lighting.

I used GIMP to create the Alpha channel texture map for my model.

I then created the UVs for my model and re-sized them to go around the branch texture.

This was an image I found of a Norwegian Spruce branch which I used as the main texture for my tree model.

Here's the start of a fir tree I modelled for a personal project in Blender.
