This would normally go into the tracks folder, wearing a nice and shiny blue "Tool" prefix. However, the number of polys is way too high to be able to use this in a game anytime soon.. IF ever. (Challenge accepted ? #technologyprogress). ..but, it is just too cool not to be shared nevertheless. The end result will look something like this (which counts in hundreds of thousands vertices). I will make some tests though, and see what we can obtain cutting 3 zeros from that number. If anything decent comes out, we'll move this to it's proper place: Track making . INSTALL: - download the zip file. - unpack somewhere (e.g. desktop) - open Blender, go to Prefereces > Addon - install from file - done. PS: don't forget to activate it, and save user preferences Link towards the source.
This is as close as I could get for the moment. 6k tris / 3k verts. Which might be quite ok for some close-to-track trees. Not that bad . Will need to find a way to make the trunk less detailed. Now it's starting as an octogon.
And some helpful video, should one think about adding leaves. Again, not for real-time, not in present day at least . Part 2: Modelling the Shrub #2. Leaves particle system Part 1: Modelling the Shrub #1. Space Tree add-on
oh very nice ! Fast tool, trees look ok, poly count looks ok. Defo a keeper. Can you post where you've found it ?
