Great Tutorial , great mod , May be you are willing to create a new vegetation for the Ran No Jidai mod ?

Hehe, prometheus you've got to be the 10000 th person to ask already.

But while I'm at it would you care to make the vegetation for Hegemonia?

You shouldn't have released that tutorial, now everyone's nagging you

Duke,

Think you can do Fangorn Forest by the end of the week? Thx.

j/k

Yes, a good tutorial :)

If they brought out a patch for this would it be a vegetable patch?

DJ, I have a question for you:

In what way are your trees different in a substantial way from vanilla trees? Because somehow your forests as a whole look a lot more realistic, and the tree density looks a lot better too...

The biggest difference is that I use a texture that on its own already resembles a tree. My model is designed in such a way that the texture looks good from almost all sides (flying high looking straight down is the exception).

Most of the textures used by CA which on their own have little to do with trees and are applied to models that have little to do with trees. The result is recognized as being a tree but when put next to a real tree the mistakes become very visible. I guess that the artist thought that vegetation did not matter much and came up with a quick solution.

I might release my trees as a minimod useable by any mod, but that won't happen before NTW2 has its first release.
