Leaf Tutorial

This tutorial I found the most interesting to date. It allowed me to create a 3D leaf from a normal picture.

I uses Photoshop as well as 3DS Max. By creating a mask layer and saving it as another file I could display the leaf on a normal plane. From here I used the soft selection tool to manipulate the vertices and make the leaf more lifelike.

I really enjoyed making the leaf and it was very easy! I hope I am able to use this technique again.
