Everwood Tree

Well this was made as a request from Zurg, but I figured it might be useful to other people. The model itself was ripped from an ingame gluescreen, it uses ingame textures, and I edited the model and animated it.

Also, when using as a replacement for normal trees, to get it to work you have to change varations to 1, took me a while to figure that out :P

Give credit to Chriz. if you use this model.

The unwrapping of the trunk looks wierd!

Some roots would be nice, too...

Hmm, the trunk does look a bit weird, maybe you should add more polys, even the normal trees have more polys on the trunks.

Bah, I was just hoping I could get a resource out of this, didnt really expect to do much editing to the model. I guess I could try and Improve it.

The amount of polys in the trunk don't really matter, more would just be a waste as it is so small in game to begin with, but I can attempt to better UV map the trnk with the given texture.

Roots?

Better? I made the stump and the broken end of the tree lok like it was chopped or something, and the UV now looks more like the rings of a tree.

hmm, much better, although it would be better if you added more polys, this will do, jsut update the screenies in the first post and I'll approve it.

There, all updated, and I even added a stand hit animation for when peons are harvesting. Enjoy!

Cool.

~Approved~

I didn't realize real trees used polys.


Nice tree, by the way.

... It is a cool idea, but you know you could have bypassed reanimation and just sellotaped it onto the normal tree model?

It was a request from somebody, so I figured why not do a good job instead of a half assed one?

You could look at it that way.

It don't works for me, in the editor it appears, but in game is only shadow...

Can you tell me what to do? Plz I really want to have this on my project

Then you must be importing it wrong.

It works ok in the editor, but in the game it is invisible. I use fog in the game, is that why? How do i fix this problem?
