Great modeling and great render! IMO angle of the cam (or perspective) is a little bit forced for a Xmas theme. Good luck! Reply »

looked kind of dull with a regular camera angle.. wanted to get it from a low perspective.. otherwise, if you tilt your head to aprox -33 degrees u'll get the regular shot

looks pretty realistic, maybe instead of such an extreme angle, you could just take a straight on shot and offset the tree a bit. Just a suggestion. Great 3D modeling! Do you use blender? Reply »
