A nice little treemaker creation program and free, well .1 is not sure if latest release which is expected june/july will be, so grab it while you can, and yes I know we have solidgrowth, but sometimes nice to play with and create your own trees..

I notice that it is version zero.one that is free and the export is only DXF. The release version is still much in progress and I surprise that it jumps from version 0.1 to version 2. What happen to version 1, any idea? If it can't export 3ds for the current download version, its of not much use.

I think Corel should contact him. They will need it for Bryce 5...

LOL Fox, emailed him, he said they did contact him, he turned them down. Ver. 2 should be out full in september, I think its actually 0.2 not 2. Well its a nice little toy to play with....

I'd try it, but 50Megs.com won't let me download. It keeps saying the file has to be accessed from 50Megs.com, which of course it is, but ... 50Megs.com does that to me all the time, seems like. Grr. Looks like the program would create some decent youthful trees, which would be nice to have.

I can email it to you if you are having a problem still

mine wont work. :/ i can get a basic tree to show up, but can't do anything with it. keep getting a file not found error or some such.

Thanks to Brian for getting it to me! Bloodsong, this is a silly question, but did you edit the CFG file first? I'm having problems with it, too, but not with the program itself. I can make a tree okay and change the parameters and export a model. But the model doesn't load in any of the programs I've tried. :( Anyone having any luck with it?

heyas; yes, i edited the cfg thing to make it RUN. that worked. but while it's running.... :: do you have 3d explorer? i was gonna export dxf then run it through that to get 3ds or obj.

its worked fine for me

Twin, you are a genius! I had been trying to import the model here, there and everywhere, but I hadn't considered trying to convert it first. I brought it to 3DWinOGL and it loaded right up! Then I exported as 3DS and brought that version into Vue, which accepted the model as if it was made for it! :D This particular model is under 20,000 polys, which I hope is somewhat representative of the program. There are separate groups for the trunk and branches, and the leaves are composed of several groups in themselves. Some interestimg material tricks could be worked with that, like red leaves on one side and green on another! Brian, thanks again! I think I'm going to be making some nice, young trees while I wait for Vue 4. :)

heyas; well, i'm glad YOU got it working :/ ::sigh:: make me some trees :)
