plants

here is a new one with 512x512 texture:

( it's only 123 vertices! )

hey plants are a good thing . i would love to have many to use . ons reborn has plat life all around . and i know of a few mappers using some really nice ones in thier current projects . please make prefabs , and lots of them .

Nice plants there titi! tnx for sharing them.

I found a nice screenshot of ons reborn !


And the second one looks interisting too but you cannot see a lot on this screenshot:

palms! some island maps would be cool!

[titi]

Can anyone establish( with screenshot ) that my palm(s) work? Textures are ok ...
I they work I will quickly create some more plants and I hope to see an island map and a jungle map soon!

I agree about the plants. That's why I put plants in my maps .

This is a picture of the Cleft Village project, you can see the screenshots here:

titi, take a look at this: http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?p=50405#50405

I made 2d tiled sprites of your tree models, and got some nice scenery like that. I'll start adding the 3d models on the map soon, but I still need some nice looking 2D grass sprites, bushes etc.

The models, btw, work fine after I export them into md3 from blender. Only problem is, they slow down performance a lot if you place many on a small area, especially on my open map. (hence I use the tiled 2d sprite for scenery)

Is this my fern I see in the screenshot?
I can reduce the number of vertices by half in this model!

Can you probabaly also use my palm ( 123 vertices ) and see if it also slows down gaming dramatically?( I think 123 Vertices is not too much ).
What are your computers hardware specs? Just to understand what you want to say with: "slow down performance a lot".

I can try to create some really low poly models to create some forests .
I start with this now, lets see what I can do ....

@sev: nice screenshots, I really have to test this one! I never saw a nexuiz map like this before!

Its not so easy to create something nice with very a very small amount of vertices.
Here is an autumn tree with only 55 vertices. Try it, probably you can use it.

What exactly ares sprites in the 3d world?
Is that something in 2d that always faces to you ( like the things in duke nukem 3d? )?
In Flatout 2 , I saw a nice combination of 3d models with sprites to create one lowpoly nice looking trees. If its too slow with low poly models probabaly this the way it works. But I think its tricky to create things like this.
