Description
I tried to create trees, infected with mistletoe.It wasn't very difficult at all.
I think it looks already realistic but the models are too large.
I have to reduce the polygons.

Thank you very much!
I think it's not worth to get placed in the featured folder, it's too simple.

I love the Mistletoe and I love the trees, very interesting type, tho.
*just for future reference mistletoe's host tree is Oak, 'kay?Β
I am trying not to be mean or nasty, just giving some botanical knowledge.Β

That's correct because you mean the oak mistletoe
(Phoradendron leucarpum).
They are not common in Europe.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoradenβ¦
This is the European Mistletoe
(Viscum Album)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscum_aβ¦
They are almost never on oaks.
The main host is poplar/aspen, apple tree and robinia, also birch, alder and willow.
There are even sorts who infect conifers but I have never seen.
Poplar trees and apple trees are often heavily infected,
there are whole forests of mistletoe along the rivers
not far away of my home.
Thank you for the comment!

okay, the Mistletoe I was thinking of is the one that inhabits Oak only, but I did know there was another variety the Viscum album.
thank you for the helpful info.
you are most welcome, happy to help.

You have made a good exercise with theses trees and mistletoe.
You can now add them to complete landscapes !
congratulations !Β Β

Thank you!
I wanted to create a landscape with them.
The problem is I have constantly new ideas and no time to realize them all.
Nevertheless I will use them in landscape render sometime.

Never before have I seen such a parasite and have not even heard of it! Now I looked at the information on the Internet. It turns out that this mistletoe also has medicinal properties.
Thank you for the lesson!

The mistletoe is an slow growing evergreen shrub who takes moisture and minerals from the host tree, it's a hemiparasite. Mistletoe needs a cool and humid climate but not too cold, only down to about -30Β°C degrees.
Maybe the winter is in many parts of Russia too cold.
Mistletoe is very common here, it's sometimes a plague, especially on apple trees.
Here you see photos:

Sorry for the poor quality, it's not possible to make good photos with my old cell phone.
I've lost my camera when my home has burned down.
Mistletoe is an important plant in Celtic and Germanic mythologie and a very popular christmas decoration together with holly and fir branches.
During christmas season a bunch of mistletoes hangs on the ceiling or in the door frame and if a women and a man met together under the mistletoe they have to kiss eachother.
This is an ancient usage.

Nice work.
About the mistletoe, did you create it as a true mesh in Wings3D or is it more a combination of planes and textures?

Thank you for the comment.
They are true meshes.
Here you see the meshes:
and the UV map:
If you look very close, they look not like mistletoe but from a little distance they look pretty realistic.
Modeling was very easy, just a simple procedure, done in a few minutes.
The same way it is possible to create Tumbleweeds and similar bushes with low effort.

Excellent work.
If I'm not asking you too much, is there any chance you add an image showing the initial steps (the seed) you used to create them.
Wings3D people liked your rock tutorial.

For me, making a tutorial is more difficult and time expensive than creating 3d renders.
Nevertheless I think I will do this.
I made just tumbleweeds using the same procedure I have created the mistletoe.
