Lab 6_Es 4_Vegetation analysis_Orange Tree_Iolanda Scafuro

For the fourth exercise I chose to parameterize an orange tree. This type of tree is  able to reach a height of 10-12m, but generally it isn't higher than 6-7 m. It has a dense and rounded foliage (this characteristic doesn't allow the passage of light), its leaves are glossy dark green and its flowers are characterized by a sweet smell. The shape depends on the variety. In fact it may be from round to subsferic tree. Its fruits have an external skin more or less smooth, reddish-yellow, while the pulp inside is divided into many slices covered by a transparent membrane. To avoid the intersection of the branches it is recommended to plant orange trees at a minimum distance of 5 meters.

After choosing the tree, I created an outline with the parameters needed for the redesign of the foliage and of the trunk.

To model the foliage and the trunk, I create new levels (5 in total) at different heights in which place the  circumferences previously found in the sizing of the photo.

After having made the circumferences , I select them and I create the  final form of the foliage.

Than to have the possibility to change every single parameters  I click  Edit Profile -> Family Types -> Parameters.
