Its a fall setting of a coconut tree. They all fell off.
That tree is sexy by the way y00tz. Did you do that by hand or with Tree Generator

very nice yootz. you should make a coconut model to go along with it

SOOOOOOO UBER!!!!!!!

Wow that palm tree looks amazing. I look forward to seeing it placed in maps.

BTW, I have been trying to use wings3d, and I can model some basic objects, but anytime I go for a tree, I can never get the shape right, and I never know how/when to start branching off, and when overlapping is ok, and whatnot. Perhaps a little youtube vid for wings3d: basic tree modeling would be good.

and again, tree = AMAZING!

Here's the .wings file for the tree, take a look at how it works and you'll easily be able to make some.

Wow, that was the most useful thing EVER. (seriously)
Thank you Thank you!!!!! I did not realize that textures did so much of the work. Were those palm leaves just image planes!!!???!?!?! Whenever I tried using image planes, I would export as a .3ds and when imported into blender they were GONE!!?!?! I figured its because image planes were designed for guidelines, and not actual mesh. THIS IS VERY COOL!! Thank YOU!

Nope, make a cube and select only the top face then "Extract" select the Y axis, you should have a cube_extract object created, delete the cube and just use the face you extracted to make the planes.

-y

edit: Here's the rscript for making the leave textures transparent:

Code: [Select]

models/directory/filename(without extension)
{
	{
		map models/directory/filename.tga
		alphamask
	}
}

e.g.

models/cmp/palmskin
{
	{
		map models/cmp/palmskin.tga
		alphamask
	}
}

^^Please don't post free 3D modeling software here, just start a new thread please.

Cusoman, post your renders/screenshots of trees here, and anything else in the thread "Submit Model Ideas"

cusoman · « **Reply #97 on:** March 01, 2008, 09:25:32 AM »

Well, when I get a little better at making some trees, you will see them appear in this thread. And after seeing your palm.wings, I have really gotten better.

Bump...

what is the current status of tree designs/models at the moment? I'm in the market for a decent deciduous tree.
