Taking a bit of a break on the trees right now. It's hard to get the lighting settings right, and I've just realized that most of my leaves are facing the wrong way. They shouldn't be pointing up. I'm pretty sick of tree stuff, so I'm putting that aside for now. I do have a couple of nice sculpted trunks so far, though, and all this messing around with Blender has made me much more comfortable with the program. Remember that chair I'd been making before? I went back to it tonight and was much more confident as I worked with it.

I'm pretty burned out on all of this, to be honest, but I need to keep working (and work quickly) if I want to be ready to open in January. I'll endeavor to pull myself away from Oblivion and stop fantasizing about doing NaNoWriMo. (Oh, and speaking of Oblivion, I finished the main quest a few days ago. Kind of a downer ending.)

Oh, and look what I've found: LL's roadmap for visuals, featuring better trees and terrain that reaches the horizon (!). Okay, so most of this stuff is never going to happen (HTML on a prim is also listed there), but a girl can dream, right?
