Tree[d]

[Brego]

Hello!

I found this program called "Tree [d]" that generates random 3D models of trees. If you fiddle around with it you can manage to make decent looking low poly trees that can be used in game

Here's the link to their site:
http://www.frecle.net/index.php?show=treed.about

It's really nice in the way that you can create one tree that you're happy with and just click a button and automatically generate a different, but similar tree for variations.

Here's a scene I quickly threw together by using stuff made with the program:

(click to show/hide)

(click to show/hide)

Just thought I should make a thread about it as it can be a quite useful tool

Edit: Hmm, didn't really think too much before starting the thread, so it probably is in the wrong section xD

[DrTomas]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

This can actualy be quite usefull

[Lumos]

Indeed, it can be very useful for people who haven't even tried modelling of stuff like that. Thanks.

[Brego]

No problem

Btw, to get it low enough for warband, you should make the leaves quite big and use the branch textures instead of the single leaf-ones.

Edit: You should also note that when importing it into openBRF the backside of the leaves are invisible, so you should select them and do "Backfacing faces" --> "add (x2 faces)". Which also means that the polies for the leaves will double.

Awesome find!

Interesting~ Much easier to get a tree model~

[bisthebis25]

Texture is included ??
Models are free-to-use ?

[Brego]

Textures are included

And yep, free to use:
"Best of all tree[d] is free to use, and you can include the trees you make in your own projects, commercial or free, as long as they are not model packs, texture packs, 3D model generators, or texture generators."

[theAthenian]

Very nice. You could release the ones you got as OSP.

[Brego]

Wouldn't that be a model pack?

And besides, the ones I've got aren't that good, nor hard to make yourselves with the program.. They were just quickly made as I wanted to see how a dense forest scene would look like with it..

[Gambino]

so what? u want us to dance happily for u just coz u got a software for trees?

  joke nice software man did u make it or u found it

[Brego]

Didn't make it, no

Just found it and shared it as I found it very useful and thought others would too

[Úlfr]

wow that remind me of cabrioum time haha pretty cool, this should be added too the game right away, too bad it probably wont happen : / but get modders too use this

[Brego]

A little test forest I made quickly with the program:

(click to show/hide)

(click to show/hide)

(click to show/hide)

Consisting of seven different trees where all of them have 135 polies each.

135 is pretty little. They look okay but i think you could increase them.
