JamesTaylor Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Does anybody have any suggestions for high quality tree solutions? Products they've bought etc. i'm looking for quality models that look real for use in still images, i'm not too concerned about polysize, as they can always be proxyed, but have never been that keen on RPC and for a change i don't want to add things in post. I've tried bionatics in the past but they always seem a little spindley, better than RPC but not as real as post production as you get closer to them. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Warner Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 If you are looking for 3d, I use xfrog and like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTaylor Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 the xFrog models look intersting, its a shame there doesn't seem to be any samples to try first tho. Strat, are the tree clips just texures applied to a plane with and alpha map? or are they actually modelled geometry? anyone else got any suggestions?

Chad Warner Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Do a search on this site for "free xfrog" they have a couple you can download and try (for non-commercial use) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Strat, are the tree clips just texures applied to a plane with and alpha map? spot on! much better than any 3d solution you can use for still work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron2004 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I just bought the Marlin Trees (Trees and Foliage package) a few days ago...I'm still waiting for them. I was torn between them and got3D. Strat's advice was the tie braker. If they suck, I'm kicking you in the face, Strat. Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTaylor Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 I'm trying the xfrog trees, there very high poly but i've got dr running on vray so hopefully this will offset the increased render times. Although i can see mapping a image to a plane with an alpha channel will work it just doesn't feel right to me! how good will the shadows that are cast be? its not the best on RPC's which work on a similar method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
