Description
For some time, I've noticed that some people underestimate the size of trees in their images, so as a result I had a play at recreating a sense of scale of some of the trees around us and the maximum height they can obtain.
From left to right: Giant Sequoia (mapping needs work, but that's Vue's Solid Growth for you) - 112m tall, Oak (with a 6' tall human figure for scale. Can you spot him? ;0)) - 40m tall, Scots Pine - 40m tall, and Silver Birch - 25m tall. Thanks for looking and as always; critique always welcome.

lol, if you like that, you should check out the planets one I did a while ago. Great work, love the sacle
Excellent piece. The figure reference is a great idea.
Very interesting indeed :) And nice too :-D
Not the usual Vue-like image with trees shown here. ;) I like the idea a lot, great job! The little human for scale is a very nice detail. Well done!
Very cool, Cheers, thanks~!
Neat comparison - well presented. Thanks!
Very useful indeed. My question is: did you have to rescale the trees, and the figure, or did everything load with the right scale? As you pointed, the trunk mat of the sequoia is wrong. I don't have this tree, but it happened with other trees, and the solution was to change the mapping mode to "world parametric", and then if it works for the sequoia, report to the C3D store talk.
Great stuff, that oak is HUGE (looks like that 6 foot person is a just a bug beside it!).
