Lemon Tree

I learned so much about object duplication and lighting while designing this cute little lemon tree, and it was my first time experimenting with hair (I tried a version with grass that didn’t make the cut) and a cloner object (the mulch inside the planter). I also learned the hard way about render times - it took over 2 hours to render a ~2s animation. I’m looking forward to improving the workflow there or finding optimization tricks in future projects!

I always notice little things here or there that I could fix or improve, but perfect is the enemy of done and I’m proud of this juicy little tree.
