Hey! I'm having an incredible learning experience, not only learning how Blender works (yes, still learning), but also about Open-Source and the incredible software available. Stick around!

Hey all!
I have been using curves a while and I knew they could be tapered, but I thought that you would always only be able to do so through another curve or through programming (and I looked - though looking back when I did, I didn't even check youtube, hahaha). Anyway, GOD knew I wanted to know and lo and behold, like this or last week, there was the answer, in the beginning of a video I could not seem to find!! Thankfully GOD knows how to stay on me about things and HE helped me locate it. It is the video below:
(Very short video, very much worth the watch)
I am super thankful!!
Anyway, because I now received the info I needed, I could finally make a proper Palm Tree with curves, and here it is:
(Also very short and imo, worth the watch :D !)
I can only thank GOD for helping me in everything I take on. This video, as short as it is and as simple as it is, still took a considerable amount of work to texture. Not like I'm gonna freak out if I have to do it again much, but if I told you it's all procedural textures, you can guess it took a little bit of effort and a lot of leading! haha. I sent it to some friends and one said it looked like a dinosaur tail (an earlier render then above) and I had to admit, he was right, hahaha.
