Does anyone have a free realistic pine or spruce tree for Vue? I don't have Vue Pro and my Vue 5 doesn't seem to include Pine trees. The free trees from 3D Cafe weren't detailed enough. Thx Lorne

Check out Thomas Krahn's website - he used to have a pine tree available for download.

Check the sample scenes included with Vue 5 as well, you may find some pine trees you can use there. One of the most lacking things from the Vue upgrades are pine trees and evergreens, Vue has a single "fir tree" which is closer to a dry christmas tree than an actual living conifer. I would definately second Agiel's recommendation of Thomaskrahn's conifer, it's got a higher polygon count but is the most realistic freebie out there.

Yes, I have a free Blue spruce on my web site. www.expandingwave.com. I can't remember the exact link right now, but if you go to the Freestuff in the Catalogue and page through that, you'll find it.

The Xfrog public plants site has a blue spruce - see http://www.inf.tu-dresden.de/ST2/cg/downloads/publicplants/ I hope you have a system with some oomph. These trees make mine choke. If you want to make your own, there's Arbaro, a cross-platform, Java-based program that exports .obj and pov-ray meshes: http://arbaro.sourceforge.net/ It comes with a bunch of presets that can be tweaked.

Wow, that's a great site. I have a copy of xFrog 3.5 and I've never seen that site....some nice stuff. They are high poly count though. Each leaf is modelled, which means they don't trim down very well. However, that blue spruce should be very modest on resources....It seemed to produce only 20K polygons... eric
