Since the last post on the subject the vine row textures have been painstakingly reworked again, primarily to illustrate fruit zones and overall proportions to a greater degree of consistency with the reference photos in the Capozzi Winery Group on flickr.
The upward angle of the source photo for the previous texture created some issues with isolating the fruit and bringing it down, therefore the latest iteration starts from scratch with a new shot used with kind permission from the photographer Linda Blakely.
Supplemental fruit (perhaps a little too much), vines, leaves, and wires have been added in Photoshop. Thanks to deviantART user Spiritsighs for making available an excellent collection of foliage brushes. This version also follows an updated tutorial by Robin Wood outlining an even better method to create alpha channels without the white halo around them, this time utilizing a nifty free photoshop plugin from Flaming Pear.
