Hello! In this tutorial I will explain you how to make a simple tree. This one is taken from Archmodels Vol.31
1. Let's start from simple box. By using Extrude tool start to extruding segments. Every time changing scale and direction of extruding polygon. After you finish trunk start to extruding branches form sides. Make only trick branches. Try to fill space that your tree
should occupy. You should also use other poly tools like: Chamfer, Connect, QuickSlice, Cut
2. Use this same way to create one separate branch.
3. Use this same way to create one separate branch.
4. Add to your branch XForm modifier and move it's center to this same place as before. Hit right button on your mouse and selectConvert to Editable Poly.
5. Select your tree and hit Ctrl+V from keyboard to clone it. Hide original tree by click right button and chose Hide Selection. Delete base of your tree, leave only upper branches. Add MeshSmooth modifier.
6. Select your single branch and go to Create -> Geometry -> Compound Objects -> Scatter. Hit Pick Distribution Object and select Upper level branches. Use Image bellow to set scatter. If you are not satisfy try to change speed and scale parameters.
