An early stage render

Still much to add. I'm glad I finally got the render time down to something reasonable, though. I was having 8 minute renders early this morning, but now they're down to about a minute and thirty seconds. Still planning to add grass paint effects to the silhouette of the background hills, as well as some animatables, like a banner in the wind or a rope or something, which I should be able to achieve with a simple rig.

this is the texture i want to add to the tree, for a semi-realistic feel.

edit: this one is a little bit brighter to show the tree's texture.
