Actually, what I was shooting for was an old White Oak. From the pictures
that I found on the Web, white oaks around here in Michigan grow differently
from further south, though. I think I've created a reasonable
approximation, but it's certainly not perfect. I wasn't able to get the
twigs short enough. Older tress have shorter "snaggier" twigs, as much of
their growth is behind them, I guess. I couldn't figure out how to do that
in POV-Tree, but that doesn't mean that it's not possible. As a result,
this tree also kind of looks like an old Sugar Maple, except that the bark
is too dark for that.
I would guesstimate the age of this "oak" to be about 80 to 100 years. Not
particularly old.
IMHO, POV-Tree + TomTree is a killer combination. Without POV-Tree, TomTree
overwhelmed me. Now I can actually get a grasp on the parameters.
