The Nation of Xamel, on the continent of Demetia

Hey there Wisemoon, congrats on finishing this, and for updating RobA's much beloved tutorial in pdf format, I know that will be of help to folks. Hm, in your description you say that you made use of my photorealistic trees tut, but I gotta say, those forests look much more like the original ones from Rob's tutorial rather than the method I outline. Was this perhaps a typo?

Cheers,

Hey Arsheesh! No, I used your methods exactly. I was following your PDF tutorial and wrote in your steps pretty much exactly. I just named the layers differently. I don't know why they would look different. Either method works, I just included your method because RobA recommended it.

Which version of the tutorial were you working with? I've recently uploaded a newer version. If you were following the older version then you would have run into the problem I mentioned. You see, there was a typo in it: I originally said to set the layer mode of all the Tree Color layers to "Soft Light" (or Overlay, I don't know which since I've since deleted the original tutorial from my files). However, I meant for the layer mode of the middle green color to be set to "Multiply". At any rate, I mention it only because this helps to hide some of the "bevel" of the forests and also makes them more lush looking.
