TUMBLEWEEDS made in Bryce

Retro Lad

This is the best I could come up with using Bryce's Tree Lab to model a reasonably decent looking tumbleweed. To bad Bryce doesn't have a Plant Lab that could be used to make bushes, weeds, flowers, etc.

On the right side of the image below is one of my generic tumbleweeds fresh out of the Tree Lab. I exported it into Carrara and used the twist modifiers on it, and the final result is seen on the left.

I made about a 10 tumbleweed variations suing the Tree Lab default and Yew tree. The Carrara twist modifier can be used to create endless slight variations in each imported Bryce tumbleweed.

I love the smaller one on the left, that looks great!

@FlashGarcia - I agree with Sean. The smaller one looks pretty darn real. Good job!

Very nice, FlashGarcia!

Thanks for the complements, Sean Riesch, CTippetts, fencepost52

I've posted 2 screen captures of the one of my Bryce tumbleweeds, that appears too much like just a bush in Bryce, imported into Carrara in 3DS format, and then twisted a bit with a modifier. The twisting modifications turn the Bryce bush into a decent looking version of a tumbleweed.
The first screenshot shows the imported unmodified Bryce bush, and the second screenshot shows the modifications.

Great Tumbleweeds!
