Animating wind blowing trees

[moifa]

Hey guys,

 

I am doing a fly through with wind blowing trees. Does anyone know the most efficient way to do this? I know Onyx stormfx and Exlevel GrowFx can do it? Which one is faster and has better quality? Would the animation work with other trees model from Evermotion?

 

Thanks in advance.

I too want to know what is an efficient way to show moving of leaves like subtle motion is also good. Usually that is what gives the true heaven feeling when you have like a walkthrough.

I've done something similar to this, and it seems to do the trick for the subtle motion.
