"Starting Simple" is a starter tutorial about how to create a leaf via texture mapping a grid. The modeling aspects are done in Carrara's Vertex Modeler and the texture maps are supplied on my website.
This is the first in an 8 part series to teach the in's and out's of the UV Editor. An rough draft of the whole 8 parts is available on my website.
