Stratos Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Wondering IF someone can build this two model of trees as 3d models, they can be flat If needed, not need to get a full 3d model, what I mean is that I need them as objects with lo and skin so I can place them on my maps. If possible make a small line of them with 5 or 6 placed as a cluster so I can build lines of those trees easier. Thanks a lot! Quote
Fubar512 Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 If I am not mistaken, the game engine limits us to a total of 255 "models" being visible at any one time. And that number would include any combination of aircraft, ground objects, and now trees, combined. Not a smart plan. Quote
Stratos Posted April 24, 2016 Author Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Excuse my english, maybe I not expressed myself correctly. What I want is something similar to this, the palm trees form a "X" with two flat faces, when seen in game so you have the impression is a real 3d palm tree when is not. I need the same but for the two trees on the opening post in small clusters like in the pic, so I can add eye candy to my airbases. Thanks a lot. Edited April 24, 2016 by Stratos Quote
+swambast Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Performance hog...watch your FPS crap out using this approach. Quote
Stratos Posted April 24, 2016 Author Posted April 24, 2016 Can be. Yakarov can those trees be less spaced and a bit more greenish? Quote
Peugeot205 Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 The best thing you can do is add them as .tod trees. Quote
+swambast Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 The best thing you can do is add them as .tod trees. Totally Agree... Quote
yakarov79 Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Can be. Yakarov can those trees be less spaced and a bit more greenish? Yes can be. But as others says. It will be fps unfriendly. One object should be ok, but few more... .tod trees is the option. Quote
Stratos Posted April 24, 2016 Author Posted April 24, 2016 Let me try it please. I know nothing about TOD placement. Quote
hurc Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Here are a few from the various terrain mods out there. I don't take credit for making them, but thanks to those that did. Trees.zip 1 Quote
Stratos Posted April 25, 2016 Author Posted April 25, 2016 Excellent!! Wondering If someone can double the size and height of the tree in the attached rar please?? And the palm tree at least 3 or 4 times higher. Trees.rar Palm_Tree_Small.rar Quote

Peugeot205 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I insist , the best way is to add them as .tod trees. You can make trees 1 km tall and 2 km wide with TK's terrain editor. Quote
Stratos Posted April 25, 2016 Author Posted April 25, 2016 I'm getting nice results with my methos, is only some trees in 5 or 6 airbases, not affecting the FPS at the moment, simply will love to have the trees I posted but bigger. Quote

+Soulfreak Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-model/trees/?synonym=trees here you have a lot for free... Quote
Wrench Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 don't know if any of you know this, but on the IcelandNA terrain, TK has actually USED seperate tree lods, that are listed in the _types in and placed on the terrain via the targets ini. of course, we can't access them to see them..... 2 Quote
Do335 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 good find wrench! i think stratos has all the trees needed from IcelandNA! Quote
Wrench Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 yes, but without the lods..... and if he's working anywhere further south (or north in southern hemisphere) of the 60th parallel, they're of little value Quote
Do335 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) yes, but without the lods..... and if he's working anywhere further south (or north in southern hemisphere) of the 60th parallel, they're of little value can't they have a new coat of paint or something? like for different more tropical trees? you can see their texture names in lodviewer, seems crown of the tree are just rectangle simple texmap... it could be enough to work with. Anyway, just making some ideas! edit: oh in case... how to see non-aircraft LODs in lodviewer is simple: change say F-4B001.LOD to say Tree003.LOD in F-4B.ini. Open F-4B.ini with lodviewer and voila u see a tree:D same way to view stock 3w cockpit LODs and stuff... edittttt: tried it. worked. it doesn't look very good think i still like 'em tod trees... and framerates...

Stratos Posted April 27, 2016 Author Posted April 27, 2016 Yakarov helped me and I'm already planting the trees on my terrain. Thanks everyone! Quote
