Hi,

Does anyone have any free low poly tree models (or links to some, or to tutorials on creating them)?

I'm also after some tips on creating the illusion of a dense forest in a game world, but keeping it low poly - hmm! A bit like the forest sections in GT, I'm sure they arn't all full poly models, some cunning billboard/low-poly trick perhaps.

Cheers in advance

Well making trees is not as hard as it looks
there was once a tutorial for turespace but the url is broken now :
so try to search this forum I remember that once someone
showed how to model trees. and search for alpha mapping
which can be good for you.

if you have Gile[s], I highly recommend you download Tree[d] (from the Giles website), it's a pretty powerful tree generator (and free too). unfortunately it only exports to the Gile[s] format...

Feel free to nab the tree models from OIE, theres a boned tree which you could easily get swaying but could do with a better texture, and some evergreens - they're all designed to blanket an area, as long as you rotate them you should be able to get a nice easy forest working.

Thanks - where can I get a download?

I've started to have a play, using a mock up tree (very low poly, two plains cross sectioned styllee) and got a fair few instances loaded up with reasonable fps.

Its not the dense forest I imagined, but its pretty faithful to what I see as a 3d version of the original deathcase woods, so I may end up going that route. Still playing of course Keeping it simple and quick is the goal at the moment.

Cheers.

If you check the front page of this site and look for 4 little army dudes in a screenshot, that's a direct link .
