Bamboo Potted Plant

The fbx and image textures are in this folder also.
Static mesh imports as plant on the right.  It may have to be scaled up like the one on the left.

This was my first time making a potted plant.  I followed video tutorials that Murilo gave to me that were for making foliage and trees from 3DS Max to UDK and I had to extrapolate it myself for Maya.  The trunk is modeled with a normal map and a bark texture I made in Photoshop.  There are two kinds of branches that I made from high-poly branches which I used to make image textures for the cards for the branches.

For the next version of this bamboo plant, I'll make 3 kinds of branches and make the stems curved next time to make it look more organic.

Pot needs a lightmap or something.
