Subject: Free tree models

Here's a tree generator that produces free randomised models of 7 different types of tree. They aren't bad at all. I've been using them as the basis for my own models, since unlike most of these codes it exports to collada which can be imported into pretty much anything.

Thought I would share.

Thank you very much for sharing this, greenman876! Unfortunately it's for Win only and I use Macs exclusively :-( It looks like a very good product though, and at a very cheap price for the pro version.

au contraire...collada imports into nothing I use...maybe Vue but who can afford that when using a free tree maker....obj is actually a format that almost all programs use FYI...collada seems a sketch up thing, at least that's what SketchUp exports along with dae...fbx would have been another useful format.

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound

Blender will import Collada, and should meet most people's budgets. ;) You can export from there to other formats.

Ah blender the imcomprehensible app....sigh...tried that once and left the computer muttering after a few hours tryin t' come to grips with it.

Well O K...it is free and works on a free app so I guess this is all valid but the veg sure doesn't come up to the standard I'm used to with XFROG stuff, a bunch of which was made available to Terragen2 users in the native .tgo format. Thanks for posting Bob.

Yeop...so I see purchase...is this a free app, trial, what? To bored to read all that intro stuff...but a decent tree maker would be a nice app to have so...

That tree generator looks rather promissing :)

I mean the Bobby one. Collada just f's up any program I've ever used.


greenman876 ( ) posted Wed, 09 January 2013 at 4:43 PM

I use Unity and Torque3D, both support Collada, as does Shiva and Unreal Toolkit. I can import the models from Forester into Blender, Maya etc.

Actually the Collada format is horrible from a programmers point of view, resulting in some dodgy exporters and importers, but it is very flexible because of it. You can save entire scenes with lights and animations in the format.

I've used frekle, but it can't produce the full range of trees, is quite fiddly and they forbid you using the produced models in asset packs.


bobbystahr ( ) posted Wed, 09 January 2013 at 5:56 PM

Also kinda low res trees but i'm used to XFROG stuff due to 5 sample folders being included in the free Terragen 2. Also if you frequent the terragen forums you'll often see free trees in both the terragen ,tgo format and obj as that's the highest quality output from XFROG so if you just need trees surf the forums..ground cover stuff turns up as well often.

Wow...XFROG does produce amazing trees...just incredible detail. Thanks for the suggestion Bob. Wonderful for rendering work. I managed, with quite a bit of effort, to import some into Torque3D and Unity, but they are so high res they dropped frame rate down to a painful snails pace even without anything else going on. However, I might be able to still use them to generate cinematics.

I've played around with Forester Pro models in Torque3D and in Unity and they import straight in with no fuss. I can get several thousand on screen without slowing down all the fun stuff (explosions, smoke, gun fire, exploding sheep). I guess what a good tree model is depends on what we need them for.
