In Depth Virtual Report

I didnt really think u should cut such a nice branch off so i did a virt to explain my theory.


We'll start off with the right branch. all i pretty much did was angle up the branch a few times and then trimmed off a little of the leaves above it (the main structure of leaves.) Then put the leaf patches parallel to the ground.

The right branch was also angled a litte, but downwards (insted of the right branch going upwards) but then like on both i made the leave patches parallel to the ground. I also trimmed off a small amount of the leaves from the main leave structure on the left side and some around the little lump on the left branch. some of the leaves on the left branch that i took off might be able to be kept, but as for the virtual i did it this way so it could be more easily to see.

Hope this helps, I liked the idea, let me know what you think.

BTW- Both of these elms are amazing.
