    Having just made some low-poly trees by hand with arduous vertex dragging this is a great vid. I never would have thought to use the sculpting mode for an organic shape then the decimate modifier to make it usable, great stuff!

    Hey Grant. Your new addition to the environment blender course is great. But I would love to see you make textures and the foliage alpha textures from scratch and then use that in the texturing process of the foliage.
    Your video that demonstrates how to handpaint a wagon. I would love to see this method used in the texturing process of foliage and rocks, for your environment course.

    Trees in Blender have been the bane of my life. I create projected backdrops for theatrical productions and forests feature quite often. I've always had to do a trade-off between modelled trees and "billboard" trees in the background. These low(ish) poly trees that look realistic are going to be a great help.

    hey grant, i have been learning a lot with your videos both on youtube and on your awesome paid courses. Thank you so much for all the great content, you make it possible to digest the giant meal of learning blender possible for a newbie like me. I was wondering if you could show us how to make the tree's leaves vary in color/shade procedurally so when you duplicate the trees with geo nodes in a scene they add more realism to the scene. I did this once following a low poly tree tutorial a few months ago but cant remember what video i followed and i dont remember how to do it. thanks again!

Thanks for keeping it simple and speaking so clear! I've never made it until the end of a udemy course but yours (always lost interest or just failed anywhen. You described it just so well that no irreversible failures occure). ^~^

The mapping is absolutely ignored, as well as all my other changes in the nodes, and no matter what I do, this always happens. I have tried to embed the textures, but that does not work at all. By a chance, you know what is the problem and what can I do to achieve my purpose?
