"MATT NICHOLS: Hey everybody. My name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. Right, one thing we haven't really touched on yet are trees in Bryce. To create a tree just come up to create and click the little tree icon. You should know how to do that by know and that's going to give you a default tree. Here you can edit trees just like we did all the other objects by resizing and moving it and such things and if you go over to edit and click edit terrain object or you can also hit the E here to right of it, that's going to take you to the tree lab and from here, you've got a lot of different adjustments you can do. If you click below the preview, you can select render preview, like we did with our light lab and from here you can edit a lot of different things, from the size of the branch and the trunk and such things. To the texture of your tree, you've also got under shape. There's a lot of different types of shapes you can choose from. In Bryce, you can change the shape of the tree there and you can also change the shape of the foliage, so that you can have different types of leaves on different types of trunks and there's a lot of different options you have here which you can probably figure out by now from the other things we've done. But when you're happy with your tree, come down and click the check mark, and it's going to change your tree and you can see the changes in your preview up here."
