Bryce 5: Creating Custom Tree Roots for Bryce Trees

Step 3: Creating the Tree

Now it's time to create the tree. Bryce trees are beyond the scope of this tutorial but here is a recipe for a starting point:

Trunk Leaves
Distribution: 10 Foliage Shape: Mountain Ash
Branches per Segment: 1 Scale 4
Branch Start Angle: 105 Number of Leaves: 8
Branch End Angle: 95 Distribution: Staggered
Trunk Thickness: 2 - 93 Texture: Material
Branch Thickness 41 - 95  
Texture: Material  
Shape: Sycamore  
Gravity: 4
Randomness: 70

 

Paint out Dark Areas

 

The final result will look something like the picture below but Bryce crashed in the making of thsi tutorial so the resulting tree is not the same as the recipe above.
