I have watched all the videos for the early access and I like what I saw. It was super easy to follow and I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of these lectures. Thank you Grant.
Though I had problems with the last section (especially on getting the origin to be at the base of the trees that were not one object. I think I am over thinking something. But, the branches of the linked trees in the final render blender file kept moving out of place. I found you can’t resize a linked tree among other things. It is certainly a learning experience.
Here is a render of 3 trees that took me all day to keep branches from seeming lifting off the trees when I move the trees around.
