Tree issues

This tree: "models/darkmod/nature/trees/tree_02.lwo", using this skin: "tree02_bare", has a few issues.

 

First, it appears in DR like this:

It appears in TDM like this:

So its second issue is that the branches don't connect to other branches.

 

And its third issue is that the leaf bits are missing.

 

Now, it might be that what I'm calling "leaf bits" is really just the bare branches. DR suggests leaves, which is why I'm expecting leaves.

The "bare" texture isn't supposed to have any leaves. It looks the way it does in DR because DR doesn't support transparent textures (I presume). I recently made a new texture that has a few dead leaves on it which you could use instead if you like.

 

I noticed that the branches don't always touch too.

I think I've uploaded everything needed to select it as a skin. It's "mostly_bare". You can also choose the "extra_bare" skin if you want to do away with the little branches entirely.

I have a quick and dirty idea that might improve that problem, but to fix it entirely would require remodeling the majority of the tree. I'll try the former tomorrow.

Hmm, my idea helps but it doesn't do anything about the biggest problems...it just looks like the tree wasn't modeled with much concern for whether the branches actually touch or not.

It can be fixed, but it will take a lot of finnicky work. How soon do you need it?

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
