Lighted Christmas Tree (Part 6 - Simple Example of End Result)

This is Part 6 of 6 tutorials demonstrating the different aspects of making a lighted Christmas tree (including gift boxes).

I feel I need to apologize for the tardiness of this series. I started later than I should have and there were more holiday activities than expected. The example that I have here is only a mere shadow of what I was originally planning. I simply ran out of time and I now feel that this is so late that I really need to move on. So, I consider it all a lesson learned on how to do better planning.

Please note that my example has not been properly lit, the bows need more color variations, the smaller bows are too small, the gift wrapping needs more variety, the placement of the gift boxes needs some tweaking, the particle settings for the tree and garland needs some tweaking, the room needs walls and more atmosphere, the placement of branches near the top need a little thickening and, the star needs more life. Anyway, those are my constructive criticisms.

I hope others have learned from this little series and go on to create their own variety of ideas based on the techniques demonstrated.
