Tree models without textures - can I easily create my own?

[Ausmax]

Hi all,

I have some tree models that don't have texture maps - can I easily create my own?

how hard is it to match maps with the geometry of a tree? What is the correct procedure?

 

I have heard that custom maps is where you get real photo realism. Is this correct?

If so, how is the best way to make them? - leaves in particular.

 

I have looked through the posts regarding these questions but haven't found a great deal yet.

 

Thanks for any tips you can give me on mapping vegetation.
