“Candy Tree” for the weekly CG Challenge… enjoy! 
EDIT: Updated with mist/god-rays and fireflies…
Nice work :eek:
@NID Graphics thanks man! I updated the pic with some mist and fireflies (real ones not cycles artifacts lol) 
I like it:), good work:)
Very Nice! 
Top Row is a must!
Shiny work! “Uncle apple tree” I guess:D
I love the art style soooo much! Do you happen to have a breakdown of the image? The candies are just textures applied? Also what about the bark? And you used planes for the leaves? I guess you modeled the tree, didn’t use the sapling add-on, right?
A masterpiece, I’m blown away
@Ride the flow thanks man, I appreciate that 
@AkiraOkihu Thanks mate!Unfortunately I don’t have a nice breakdown of this right now, (I’m considering making one) but you’re right I modeled the tree itself (a bit of sapling for the smaller branches), and the bark is hand-textured (ie: not procedural). and yes actually I did use planes for the leaves/grass etc.
The candy stalks on the ground are modeled using the screw modifier and curves, and the round ones on the tree were textured
Oh yes, the grass is modeled and then I used a particle system to generate it on the ground, the god-rays and fog were rendered using volumetrics on a separate layer, then composited in using PS
simply wonderful - everything - and that facial expression of the tree - so good!
Beautifull render! That tree looks so peacefull I hope it doesn’t hurt him when people break off the candy branches, lol
Great work man
