Trees

[_Atti_]

i just saw you asked a tree from an applicant and i just wanted to ask if you need a couple of trees to use them outside the mansion..and if yes than what kinda trees? half dead big oaks? some high pinetrees? (ropearrows will get a new meaning;) )

 

edit:

 

btw Kfm..if you didnt give it to PP could you post your Ancient quercus robur Ca here?

 

i cant find the model of it anymore:,\

Well, we will need trees, definitely. I didn't really include them in the mansion pack list because I was mostly thinking about inside things.

 

But we will need all kinds of trees when we do our "Pagan Pack" or whatever we want to call it. Evergreens, broadleaf, some with leaves and some without, different sizes, etc. Not to mention bushes, small plants, rocks.....

 

As far as a mansion yard, however, a couple different trees would do, and perhaps a fountain. What about a 'wall kit' like Fingernail's pipekit, that has various wall pieces with those metal spikes on top that FM authors can use to enclose the grounds?

Should trees just be included in a foliage package?

[Springheel]

Yeah that makes the most sense. Or expand it just slightly and have a 'nature pack' that includes trees, bushes, flowers, rocks, etc.

We can use trees also like in a greenhouse. And we need other plants as well inside a mansion. Pots with earth, empty pots, and pots with flowers.

[Springheel]

Yeah, you just worry about that lightgem.

an oak..

about leaves and small branches how shall i add the alpha meshes?i mean, what directions,forms? i did some trees before but none with leaves...

[BlackThief]

hm, isn't the trunk of the tree a bit too short ? or maybe you can do various versions of it

Looks fantastic, but I would suggest extending the trunk of the tree as it's a bit short. Otherwise WOWSAS

hm, isn't the log of the tree a bit too short ? or maybe you can do various versions of it

beleive this is a correct quercus robur:) i saw too much of them allready:P

and offcourse i will make more versions..

 

here is a better pic of the previous tree howver..the angle on the other was a bit strange

[Springheel]

I like it, and there is lots of room for different versions. As far as foliage goes, I'm not entirely sure how that's done. It's easy to make some hanging mossy type things falling down off the branches, but bonifide leaves are something else.

[oDDity]

Just put the polys that are to be alpha mapped foilage as a cross dissecting the branches (like the feathers on an arrow) That'll mean 2 polys per branch depending on how good we want the trees to look.

[_Atti_]

how about adding these alphas as separate "building blocks" so fm authors can add as much of them to a tree as they want to..

[BlackThief]

hm, I think that would be too much work for the fm-authors they shouldn't have to add a dozen additonal objects to each object they add to their map...

[Springheel]

Yeah, I agree. And I doubt they are going to want to custom-build every tree. We should provide a few different dead trees and a few different ones with leaves, and let them mix and match. The same models can be used for dead and leafy trees, in most cases. We can probably get all the variety we need with about three models, which can then be stretched in various ways to make different versions.

[_Atti_]

ok.. you know

i dont really know how hard to do World building in doom3 maybe i am too much used to the uber-easy Mw modding, where it wasnt much trouble to do such things..

another tree
