The addonmaker mikebart released today his English Elm tree on the BI Forums.
Just finished my first large tree, the english elm, I've made 2 versions, a normal one with a high lod of about 15000 points with 9 lod levels and a light version of about 7000 points, 8 lod levels. Its made to be scaled quite large, as you can see in those pics above.
I've been experimenting with a pretty good way of loding trees using the render to texture, projection modifier in 3dsmax, ill post more about that soon, but i'd rather get a bit of feedback on these trees first, particually on performance.
Im not really sure if putting all this into only 2 materials and a shadow texture is a good idea, but it will definitly reduce draw calls, it might also create other expences though.
I think I made the mistake of making the foliage peices too small and relied on using lots of polys to fill out the tree, so ill call this the spring version, or perhaps summer (but not doing too well).
I had to cull out a lot of tris from Lod0 to get it to load in bulldozer, so it doesnt really match the other lods aswell as i'd have liked it to so i'd reccomend using the lite version. oh yeah, and Merry Xmas for yesterday
