Nice extensions.
I like Fall too, I feel very energetic.
Thanks Aaron!

Clever stuff.
Could you have used the leaf image as a texture to project in 3D onto the leaf for added realism?

Just missing the pile of leaves for the kids to jump in and out of. Nice video Aaron thanks for sharing.

Very cool! Got a new computer and am planning on subscribing to SketchUp service once I’m up & ready to go. Used to use it for work 9 years ago, looking forward to playing with it.

I believe that was a Sugar Maple leaf. That is also the leaf on the Canadian flag. Excellent level of detail, Aaron!

Someday I hope to be able to model something so smoothly and efficiently. Really nice little project!

[@victoriahortus]

Quick and easy leaves 😊

Aaron, another great video. Sometimes I like just watching with no real application at the time. Then later it bubbles up as something I can use in a design I'm working on. How about a cord on a desk that might go to a mouse, or just be a random charging cable?

Too good❤

[@wahyudi111]

Good.... lets try draw door lock detail

[@jskup]

No, you just need to ask random tools to spread the leaves randomly over the faces, rather than making a grid.
And why not use random vertex to create the leaf veins?

Aaron. No it's spring😅
