Tree test.

[phantomdesign]

A test render of a 358 poly tree (vehicle used as reference object). The lighting isn't right & it's not to scale, but I assume the modelers here can already see that.

This tree has to look good from many angles. I also have a low-res version with 108 polygons.

Time to make 5-15 more trees like this then start researching my next style of plants.

Its quite good, although I would say that if you want a forrest, it far to detailed. Depends on what you want to use it for.

There will be 10-40 trees of this style spread throughout a sizable map (for a specific reason). The dynamic load will allow for a 108 poly replacement at distance, and probably a 10-20 poly replacement at extreme distance.

The vast majority of plants & trees will be 6-30 polygons each.

10-40 is hardly a forrest
But what matters is how many is in view. Shouldnt be a problem anyway.

Nice job. I love the texture on the leaves. You modify it to fit your needs, or was it like that when you got it, or did you just make it from scratch? I want some of those .

edit: where is the door handle

lol that's either a tiny tree or a big ass car

:afro:

Thanks for the replies. 10-40 is the number of trees that are this style. Total, there will be around 100-200 trees, and 250-800 small plants. The forest sections are only parts of the map.

You modify it to fit your needs, or was it like that when you got it, or did you just make it from scratch?

From scratch using special techniques.

I want some of those

I'm always open to the possibility of a trade, but I really don't know what I need. Most of the time an object wouldn't take me very long anyway, so I'd rather say I build everything in a scene.
EDIT: Which MOD are you doing? (link?)

where is the door handle

That car isn't done. If you want to see completed cars, go to www.GryphonAuto.com

either a tiny tree or a big ass car

...and as I said in the original post, it's not to scale. The car is tiny & the tree needs to be 2x-3x larger.

looks very nice

Thanks dude

I think those will look pretty cool in game, good work

Well, once HL2 is out, I guess we'll see
