Let's make the four following leaves of 1 Prim using TATARA and SOMATO.
I have already made four leaves using TATARA4.0. But, this article corresponds to specification change of WAPPA of TATARA5.0. If you use TATARA 5.0 later, please use this article.
All of four leaves have the same form and texture. To make this, I prepared the background image of the following leaf. 
* Though the edge of a leaf has a notch, please allow it to become smooth.
Let's make four leaves from the following steps.
1) Make the four disks on ROKURO mode.
2) Make the form of a leaf on TOKOROTEN mode.
3) Shift connection of four leaves in TSUCHI mode.
4) Adjust the form of a leaf on TSUCHI mode.
5) Once save it. (Please do not end TATARA.)
6) Make a texture from SOMATO using the background image and the sculpt map file which were saved.
7) Load into TATARA the texture created by SOMATO.
8) Make a leaf thin on TSUCHI mode.
9) Rearrange four leaves on TSUCHI mode.
10) 8)Upload them to in-world and modify it.
Let's make four leaves.
Boot TATARA and choose New on the File menu.
In the dialog displayed, choose 32x32 of SPHERE and click the OK button.

As follows, rearrange the control points.
As follows, rearrange the control points.
As follows, rearrange the control points.
As follows, rearrange the control points.
Choose all the displayed control points and expand horizontally as follows.
You made the four disks.
Let's make the form of the leaf from these disks.
Choose a TOKOROTEN tab and change edit mode into TOKOROTEN. 
The edit by TOKOROTEN is reflected in other sections.
To consider it as the object of edit of only one section, click > button at the lower left of an edit pane twice, and choose the section 50.
Choose Load Background on the View menu and read the background image.
Set Grid on the View menu as None.
As follows, rearrange the control point of the root of a leaf.

As follows, choose the control point above the leaf.
Right-click an edit pane and choose Equal Distance. Please do this several times until the control points stop moving.
The control point of the following yellow area has been arranged at equal intervals. 
You can rearrange these control points further. Since the control points of gray circle are rearranged later, please do not rearrange them now.
As follows, rearrange the control points below the leaf.
As follows, choose the control points of red area. 
The control point of the following yellow area has been arranged at equal intervals. 
You can rearrange these control points further. Since the control points of gray circle are rearranged later, please do not rearrange them now.

TSUCHIタブを選択し，編集モードをTSUCHIに変更します。
As follows, click XY in the lower left of an edit pane. And uncheck Disp Edit Lines and Disp Only Surface.

You get to know that direction of a leaf is different. This is because direction to a display is different on TOKOROTEN mode and TSUCHI mode.
As follows, choose all the control points.
As follows, drag the upper left of a selection control point and rotate a leaf 90 degrees.
Drag and move the control point selected as follows. And make them fit the background image.
Since a texture will not be beautifully drawn if a control point concentrates on the center of a leaf, let's move it so that it may not be conspicuous.
Choose the control point located as follows in red area not by click but by range selection. It is for also choosing the control points which overlap and aren’t visible.
Drag a control point like the following red arrow.
To rearrange the control points of the gray circle, set Edit Level at the lower left of the edit pane as Near.
To edit all four leaves at once, choose the control point of the gray circle by range selection as follows.
Rearrange the control points of the following yellow area.
Now, the form of the leaf was completed.
