Re: Vegetation tutorials?
Ther's a bunch of tutorials in the wiki: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Foliage You can use zbrush for stylized trees. For realistic trees you can stay inside max/maya for the most part or better yet use speedtree modeller (versatile and much much quicker). In that workflow you make textures first before you create the… -
Re: Creating a Master Material for your scene in UDK
I've been experimenting with this material setup, but I can't figure out how to make it display grass properly that i've created with SpeedTree. My diffuse map has the necessary alpha channel, but this material setup has greyed out Opacity in the material editor. Does anyone know how I should go about setting up/adding… -
Re: ART DUMP - Far Cry 4
Thanks for the great feedback! I had a lot of fun working on this project :) Yes I used SpeedTree a lot along with 3dsMax to create these assets and they are done with a completely different technique than the current gen version with different textures. My coworker Pascal De Sampaio worked on a lot of the textures and he… -
Re: Creating a Realtime Res Tree - High Poly to Low Poly RETOPO Confusion
Just an anecdote of what @Obscura is saying about the vertical loops : I made some trees in speedtree and used some optimization tools to trim them down a bit. I've been playing my game with these trees for dozens of hours and just now I realized one of the tree trunks is prism shaped. It doesn't even have four sides :) .… -
Re: Jade's Self Improvement thread
Yeah I definitely agree! It doesn't look alive without it. I kept getting weird artifacting when I brought the plants from speedtree. I need to work out why. Maybe the global wind setting? If I don't manage to work it out will post a picture here and maybe someone can point me in the right direction. :) Also want to add a… -

Re: WIP - Island Shrine Environment
This is looking thoroughly impressive Kaiser! Did you model the trees yourself or using SpeedTree? Either way, I'm interested in how you got that wonderful moss effect on the roots. Are they Vertex-Painted or built into the Texture Atlas? One thing I'd like to see is a bit more variation and foam in the waterfalls, as they… -
Re: Ue4 Arid Environment
Thanks for the advices and I agree with both of you. I was planning on doing it this weekend. Currently I'm working on a smaller kind of cactus then I wanted to experiment speedtree to make those kind of little trees you can see in a desert but the things is I don't really have an idea on how many polygons this one can… -
Re: How does one get started with Environments, Vegetation etc?
A lot of studios use a program called SpeedTree. It's used in both games and TV/film. You need to provide the textures, but the program creates all kinds of trees, their LOD's, and even adds effects like wind, which transfer over to the game engine. There's a few tutorials for it on YouTube (not really enough, though,…
