There's 2 schools of thought I guess, either use the pre-mades or model them yourself. I have done both just as exercises and got some help on a bonzai from patrick and made my own with the editor, which taught me alot. One thing about Carrara is that you could spend alot of time finding out what does what in the advanced editors, but after awhile alot of it becomes less mysterious and more familiar. The tree editor (plant is a misnomer I think) is fairly intuitive after a couple of hours of experimenting. I'd like to see more adanced settings in the new clouds now and I'm trying to make a thunderhead like you'd see in Colorado or Kansas.
