the tree is 306 polys ;D

306 polys.

Isnt that a bit too much eh?

but it looks damn good tho :)

Na,thats not to much for the wuality of the model, gj, i will probly use this in landscaft

nice job!

for tree lines have it to many polys but for an single place is it ok

Great work ! i love it !
I think you should show it to the dev team, maybe it could pop up in some maps :)

Where is the origin on this model?

yea, looks nice... GJ :)

When loaded in hl mdl viewer, the tree trunk skin is all stretched and there is a face where the skin just cuts of in the middle, sticking out to the left (right if you look from other side).

306 is a bit much,

4 trees is 1224 polys, thats about as much as a v_model.

10 trees is 3,006 polys.

Kamikazi lives! Yea...polycount on tree's is tough...too few and it looks like crap...too many and it's a lag-athon. One thing though...by placing the masked technology faces high up in the air you do lessen the fps hit somewhat purely from a what-you-can-see perspective (you get increasing fps drops the closer you come to, and interact with, a model tree or bush)

You can also design the tree to be 1 way in sections. In my ouitz_tree mdl I have faces you can only see if you are under the tree (not like right under but your perspective under). This is the detail parts of branches.

If you are above the tree you cannot see them, but no one will really care or notice.

Having 1 sided faces reduces polys and still makes the tree look good. Check out my tree in hl mdl viewer with textures turned off and have it flat shaded. You will notice the detail where it counts, looking up through the tree.

ok Thanks ill redo the tree skin and fix the poly

Don't be afraid to use a bit larger trunk skin. Like 256 tall and 128 wide.

ok fixed it it is now 128 polys cut it in half

I fixed the bark a little..
if you want you can use both tree models.. I dont really care.. But put credit!

nice, even better :D

Wow...that's such a good improvement with little or no real effect on the visual presentation...that's good tweeking man...and since I'm the king of tweek I know where from I speak.

Wow, looks good (the second version)! Great work on fixing the poly count!

;D I have a hole somewhere in the model because I saw it but its so small you cant even see it ;d

Thanks Fuzz <3 your maps ;D

From looking at your second pic..


That's the way you always want to model. You MUST be a polycount *****, and try to remove as many poly as you can while keeping the model looking nice.

I am a poly count ***** ;D remember those 603 mortar rounds :rolleyes:

bump ;d

lol polycount bitsh and i`m a highres bitsh?;)

came back from da other world to tell zero dat dat is a nice lil tree hes got there. nice work

nice tree you have there. I haven't tried using it in a map, but did that question about the origin get answered? we were talking about model origins in another thread a few weeks ago...what was the final take on that? i forgot, but i'm sure someone else remembers and can comment.

its in the middle

it is defult orgin izuno ill pm you on irc if you want to talk about it

Very nice tree, good poly reduction.

Could you create one or two version with slightly different branches? Also each version should have two other variants (now that's simple unlike visual changes) - one with origin at the top and second one with origin at the bottom.

Im not really a texture artist... I found the leaves on my desktop I think it was from this project.. If someone makes the leaves I could do that... about the orgin Ill release a 3rd tree later today for that
