Looks like Search is a bit borked at the moment (I'll file yet another bug, ugh). Searching tree[d] frecle will only get you this thread. Searching tree[d] however will get you a bunch of results, including this one https://polycount.com/discussion/135085/anybody-wanna-share-any-foliage-trees
Why bother with such a hard method to get trees into Max? Maybe something like tree[d] would be better suited to your needs. Or check out more solutions from the 3D Trees----Tutorials? thread.
@Mr Smo Thanks man! Dropping some trees this week: Tree: D,N=2k; 4300tri I was learning Headus UVlayout while unwrapping this tree. It is really nice tool but I can still feel my brain aching :D It seems like the AO is too strong, I will try to reduce it. Any feedback would be appreciated.
