Created with PovTree/TomTree.  I haven't seen too many trees like this
created with PovTree.  It reminds me of the "swamp white oak" (quercus
bicolor) trees that grew in and around the yard at the house where I grew
up.  But it's not perfect.  Instead, it's simply "oakish".

The source is available in the "Sources" area of my website, if you'd like
to load it into POV-Tree and improve/modify/whatever.

Cool! Oak trees tend to have less branches, though. I've got a big twisty
one outside in my (er, the) backyard and the trunk is /right on/.

Nice Tree, can you put leaves on it with a flick of a macro ?

Hmmm...  You are right.  It sure looked right in my head, but this morning,
I looked at a bunch and realized that they do have quite a few less
branches.  That's actually good, cuz now it'll render faster!  ;-)

I'll have to update the one on my site.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: that's just the way TomTree/PovTree works.  You can set up all
of the leaf parameters, and then simply set the number of leaves to "0" if
you want to turn them off.  That can be done either in PovTree or in your
POV-Ray source code.

Thanks for that observation (which a couple of you made).  Isn't it strange
how something can look so perfect in your own mind, and then whey you
compare it to the real world, you find that you were way off?  At least I've
done that quite a bit.  It makes me question my perceptions.  In my mind,
trees have a lot more branches than they really do.  *sigh*

Here we go.  A couple more attempts, with fewer branches.  I also changed a
few other settings to hopefully make it a little better.  One with leaves*,
one without.

*No, they're not oak leaves.  Get a life, people!  ;-)

Good job!
I believe you know that it's possible to make any leaf
by selecting 'Use UV Mapping' and providing image map name.
Image map should support transparency (e.g. PNG). Real object
used for such leaf is a mesh consisting of two triangles.
You can scale it specifying parameters on the same 'Foliage'
tab.

In the future I'm going to implement Leaf Modeller in POV-Tree.
It will be something like lofter which you can find in many
3D apps. Using splines you will define path and profiles.
Resulting surface will be converted into mesh.

Gena.

looks like a youngish live oak. I'm not sure of the capabilities of
TomTree, but live oaks have more consistency in the size of the larger
branches, the largest of which are much thicker in proportion to the
trunk.
