Thank you for the reply. Me and my friend had a question regarding your response, and that question is what you mean by “wood grain.” We aren’t the best builders as you can see. If you have an example, then that would be great.

I appreciate everyone’s reply. My friend has seen all of them and tried improving, here are some new photos of the new model (Shading is a little bad because I used Lightshot to take the pictures):
I also made a tree from scratch to see what I could pick up from all of your replies. Here are some photos of my tree:
Again, I thank everyone for their replys. Please feel free to criticize these ones too. It will help us a lot.

I disagree, I actually really like the blocky style of his tree

Now I understand, thank you for clarifying it.

It needs a lot more volume towards the top. Think of a tree like a mushroom in terms of general shape, and then think of the tree as arms reaching for their own chunk of sunlight in order to fill it out.
You don’t see branches towards the trunk of the tree because they can’t get any light. It helps to follow the rules of nature to achieve the most pleasing and realistic effect.

Thank you for the reply. Are you talking about the old model or the new one? (Constructive Criticism On This Tree - #9 by Batimius)

I would maybe recommend not making the tree so chunky. Maybe put lighting on it. Other then that, it is pretty good for a rookie. In the future, I recommend you also make your trees on Blender. It creates a much better effect.

The old one. The new one is definitely a big improvement, but more volume in the leaves would really take the cake.

The improvement is evident when you compare the second outcome to the first.
I would suggest your friend to make the tree more “natural-like”, perhaps a little tilted branch here and there. The blocky style looks very retro and appealing.

I think this is really nice! The only thing I don’t like about it is how shiny it is. Try making it less shiny, as trees aren’t very shiny. Other than that, it’s really good!

To be fair, Roblox is mostly made of plastic by default

I really like the tree! But I think that you should rotate the leaves in many different directions.
although, I really like the tree and I think that your team and you did a great job!

I did all of the builds by myself with no free models. I’m looking to work for someone.

Perhaps use unions to smooth this out a bit. Though, I really like how the tree base is constructed!
If you want to make smooth trees like this Fennec's Free Cartoony Tree Pack , I’d suggest Blender! However, if you wish to use ROBLOX studio, I do believe you can use unions to smooth it out a bit more. Perhaps make the base of it have more than 4 faces by negating edges.

I like this tree a lot more. The trunk is a little bit more free-formed, which makes it look a lot more natural. I think the leaves are also pretty nice, but I feel as if its a tiny bit clustered in a sense? It looks like you look most of it and copied it over, making the top (Reference to picture 1 and 5) look more geometric then free-formed. Otherwise, great job!

Not bad but it looks a bit to perfect to be a tree. I think you should make the bushes more random so it looks more tree like and gives you the tree feel.

On the new tree model your friend made, I think you should maybe add more details to the leave blocks, such as vines or something similar. This is just an idea, you don’t have to take this in.
One more I also suggest is that you should add more time into it. It looks like you rushed a bit, although I may be wrong, again you don’t have to take this in.
