I want to create a structure that wraps around the stem, similar to the one in the photo. How can I achieve this?
Creating a structure exactly like that will be a bit tricky in SpeedTree, but you could do a few different things to get a similar look.
-
Use fronds or leaves to wrap around the stalk. You’ll probably need to up your polys to get a smooth wrap, and you’ll need to play around with your placement settings and orientation to get it just so.
-
Use a Shell Generator. You can create an opacity map that creates that sort of wrap-around effect.
I’m attaching an example file with both approaches (you probably could create a better opacity map than I did; I just did a quick one in photoshop)
I hope this helps!
