Painting a Forest 04

At this point the models in maya needed to be brought up to second pass models. Basically make them look good, but be prepared for further sweetening as I continue.

Luckily only one tree type in this biome tends to have leaves, since it is so cold (on the tops of mountains) so I only had to dress the fir with cards.
 

Then it's time to bring the assets back into unreal and light them. even as models with blocking materials, lighting really makes the scene have a solid mood.
