Scot Pine Feedback

silver_hoodlum

Hiya

This is one of my first atttempts of a realistic tree. Im doing the model/foliage in maya and will export to cryengine.

Any advice about scot pines modelling? Is getting there but might need some little tweaks.






Want to achieve realistic style.

whats your tri count so far? in the CE3 docs they give recommended budgets for vegetation: http://freesdk.crydev.net/display/SDKDOC3/Vegetation+Budgets

I think the pine needle cards are too heavy, and the tree trunk could probably be 8 sided cylinder.

The branches, especially the upper ones, can be 6 or even 4-sided.

The branches should also be much denser, and the naked branches should be smaller and skinnier.

Hey thanks for the advice.

I added more leaf and will fix the naked branches. I did a small test this morning in cryengine, no lighting work yet.





coots7 the polycount is around 5k with the new dense leaf, dont mind giving it a bit more of detail if required, not a big fan of extreme low poly trees tbh.

Hiya

Forget to post here. Completely changed the texture, I baked from scratch a new texture in max and did a quick first test in cryengine, havent work much on the shadder. What do you guys think?

Not happy with the lighting shadding, need to tweak the vertex normals and shadder to get it look like a scot pine.

Any comments feedback are well appreciated
