Hi Fuzzoom, There are many ways to model plants. If you'd like to make plants similar to the kinds already in Vue, the best thing to do is import one into Carrara fro Vue and look at how it was created. Vue uses muliple, basic flat vertex shapes that have been texture mapped to look like there are multiple leaves when it's actually just a simple shape. An alpha/transparency map hides the vertex shape. In Carrara you create the same type of vegitation as Vue using the same methods. Also, you can use Carrara as a "starter" for original trees where all the leaves are modelled. The plant generator allows you to import custom leaves while using the trunk and branches created automatically in Carrara. There are some excellent trees created by Naniwa in the Carrara Free Stuff section here that will give you a wonderful head start on the process. So there are really two ways to create your own plants: the Vue method and the Carrara method - they both take time but the Carrara method, using the existing plant modeller, will actually be the fastest once you get the hang of it. Of course, you can always get XFrog and create your own but that's another subject. Now, to answer your question, I'm not aware of any plant building tutorials although I think one is being created by another user I know that does a brilliant job with plants. Mark
