One of the great things that Bryce does is make great looking trees. But sometimes it can use a little help.

Let us say we are making a drawing of the Rocky Mountains of the U.S. and we wanted to add a Douglas-fir. We could just click Douglas Fir and we would get this tree.

That is not a good looking Douglas-fir by many accounts. Let us try to make it a little better.

Open a new project and select the create tree symbol.

Next select the E for edit to open the tree tree lab.

Select "Douglas Fir" from the Tree Shape.

Change the Gravity to 65.

Change the Randomness to 100.

Set the Distribution to 9.

Set the Branches per Segment. On the Left side of the slider set it to 2. On the Right side of the slider, set it to 13.

Set the Segments. On the Left side of the slider set it to 10. On the Right side of the slider, set it to 19.

Set the Branch Start Angle to 125.

Set the Branch End Angle to 100.

Set the Trunk Thickness. On the Left side of the slider set it to 15. On the Right side of the slider, set it to 20.

Set the Branch Thickness. On the Left side of the slider set it to 25. On the Right side of the slider, set it to 50.

Set the Foliage to "Douglas Fir."

Set the Scale to 3.

Set the Number of Leaves to 1.

Set the Distribution to "Coniferous."

Click the Check Box.

Render your picture.

Now this Douglas Fir is a little closer to what you'd expect.

Don't stop here. You can change settings and make each tree different.

Have fun! You don't even need a green thumb.
