This is an introductory walkthrough of the PaintFX system as it relates to a tree. Once you know where to look and how to get started, PaintFX can be a powerful tool to allow you to populate a scene with a variety of foliage and other objects. The wealth of adjustments can be overwhelming, however I try to point out the ones most useful and how they impact the model. This is less of a tutorial and much more of a tour of the settings, however I feel this can be very useful information.
