and one more:
a pine, not really low poly but reduced compared to glests original(now 231 vertices):

Nexuiz has LOD you know- if you have a high, medium, and low poly version of a tree, you can easily use it, instead of that sprite crap.

OK, thanks for the hint!
I will think about this:

I updates this palm, looks a bit better now:

Also a hint- when you are creating a UV map for your models, try to make each UV island take up as much space (without overlapping) as possible. The more efficient your UV maps are, the larger each part of the UV image can be, and therefore the higher your model's texture quality will be. The palm, for example, has a ton of wasted space, and the actual trunk looks pretty poor (very low res).

yes, I know but i took it from a small glest model/textures
And now it looks so small in the big 512x512 area. I will fix it, I still have the original photo:

Here it is again:

A better texture for the trunk.

update:
and the pine again with 1024x1024 texture:

Here are all of the plants posted in this thread, ready for use in Nexuiz!

I removed duplicate sides from the first ones, rotated them so they are upright (makes mapping easier, long story short: bugs in radiant), separated the flowers from nextree, wrote shaders so transparency works and exported the lot as md3.

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? )?

Exactly. The 'scenery' I'm using on greatwall revisited is actually an ingame screenshot of your tree models piled next to each other, then the background removed. I made this shot tileable in GIMP, then uvmapped it to a lowpoly mesh surrounding the map. This means it's completely stationary, and in theory a model . I don't want to use a bunch of sprites here, nor a lot of extremely lod-ed models, beause it will run horribly bad in both cases compared to now. And in my opinion it looks quite good

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

Yes, but I already did that.

What are your computers hardware specs? Just to understand what you want to say with: "slow down performance a lot".

I'm playing on a laptop with a GeForce 9500M GS (512MB VRAM) and a 2,4 GHz dualcore CPU. Oh and: Gentoo Linux

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 ....

Cool

Oh by the way, I'd love some 2d sprites of bushes, grass and the "short stuff" in the forests, you know.

A new palm with new textures (244 vertices):

I have no good grassphotos for 2d sprites yet :-/
But probabaly you can use the bamboo alpha PNGs as grass sprites (at the bottom):

That last palm tree is a bit short - if you lengthened the trunk, as well as lengthened the trunk island on the UV, you would get more mileage out of it.
