Makes real nice trees. Kinda purdy, ain't it? ;o). It even looks good without the leaves. Not bad for a free program. Comes in a standalone version or a plugin for Cinema 4D.

It only exports in VRML2, so you'll need a converter like AccuTrans 3D or something.

The leaves and bark textures in the image are mine, but the program has some nice ones that come with it :o).

Laurie

I like that. It's gorgeous.

Did I mention it was super, super easy to use ;o)? Perfect for hard-heads like myself...lol.

The trick with big trees is to reduce the size of the panels that the leaves are mapped on to so that they match the scale of the tree. The default is much, much too large.

Laurie

I'm not much of a plant user for my own renders, but it's always good to have as many resources as possible.

Well, would it help if it made other kinds of plants too? Because it does ;o). Not strictly trees. I haven't played much with the other plant types yet tho.

Laurie

Treemendouse :)

Thanks for the link. I'll leaf what I'm doing and go download it. Maybe I should branch out and create some landscapes. Wood that be good?

oh leaf it out Phil....

Ok that is really funny. ;)

LaurieA, I think I'm more of a studio shot type of artist anyway - minimal props. hee hee!

LOL PhilC ;o)

Laurie

@ PhilC

You should be put in a punitentiary. :lol: ... several times. :biggrin:

Is it possible to load it in english??

" it's in german. come back here! thats easy to fix laddie. if you press F2 when started it will offer you the option of resetting to English. "

Oh, I'm sorry! Yes, I forgot to mention that...lol. I was so used to looking at it in English that I forgot I had to do the F2 thing...hehe. Once you do that, it will always open in English.

Thankee Kai ;o).

Laurie

Pin Oak. Not perfect, but a reasonable facsimile ;o).

You get the idea...

Laurie

Danke! oh... wait...thankx in English...;)

Thanks for the f2 trick

BTW, if anyone wants the .baum files for any of my trees so far, just reply to this post :o). They're small enough I can just upload them here. You can adjust em then how you want in the program (some of mine are hires). You're on your own with the textures tho ;o).

Gonna post a locust tree in a minute....

Laurie

K, last one...lol.

A locust tree. We have them all over the place in these parts...

Laurie

Cool thing. Pine, err, fine. Thanks for sharing!

Here's a Baum3D tree, no leaves, smoothed in PoseRay with vines from Ivy Generator (also free) with a morning glory texture and displacement map on them :o).

Laurie

PoseRay here.

Ivy Generator here.

Baum3D here.

Very nice trees. I use NgPlant which is also free, works very nicely, outputs in Obj format.

ngplant.sourceforge.net

Great idea to use the ivy generator on the tree. That looks fantastic.

I can't figure out ngplant. Of course, I couldn't figure out XFrog either ;o). I find them to be similar.

Laurie

Lovely!

Can Poseray successfully export them as .obj?

Yep :o). And from .wrl, which is what Baum3D exports to.

Did you re-texture the ivy by replacing the tex&alpha images for the leaves? or did you replace the "young leaf" geometry with a mesh morning glory (if so, how?)

Could the Baum app be used to generate foliage for some other tree model?  I still need to dress out this big boy...

Yes, I retextured the leaves of the ivy, replacing the young ivy with the flowers (there are less young ivy leaves). I made a displacement map for the flowers so that they'd "cup". The mesh remains the original plane that is made in the ivy generator ;o). It's all just displacement.

I don't know how the Baum 3D foilage would work on another tree. The only thing I can suggest is that you try it. Might not line up though I'm thinkin' ;o). But it's worth a try!

OK, I've done the same thing myself, including the displacement.  Your morning glories look good! ^^

Thanks. Took me awhile to get it right. I forgot that I have to think about the whole plane that the flower is mapped on to, rather than just the non-transparent parts. The first thing I wound up with was sort of a torical looking thing that looked just awful...lol.

Laurie

Working on trumpet vines...I think this is as good as they're likely to get ;o).

I painted these as opposed to using real pictures as I did with some of the others.

And yes.....yes, I am having fun...lolol.

Laurie

thumps Poseray and Baum3D

all I'm getting is 'model has no faces'...aaargh

Try AccuTrans3D if you have it...

Laurie

I've tried the f2 thing and it's a no go for me...sorry. Can someone tell me which german name I am to download???
Thanks!

You do F2 when you open the program for the first time. Are you trying it on the webpage?

I'm not sure what you mean by "download". The name of the program is Baum3D and the download link on the website is called that.

Laurie

lol. The webpage!
Thanks for the assist...I got it!

LOL...no problem ;o). Glad ya got it worked out.

Laurie

For those that want them, I've put some Poser mat files and textures for the ivy leaves in the freestuff forum. You'll have to go to my website to get them - no registration required or anything ;o). The Poser mats will work on any ivy you create with the Ivy Generator program.

Poison Ivy
Grape Vine
Trumpet Vines (5 colors)
Morning Glory (3 colors)

Laurie

Thanks Laurie.  I do have the Ivy generator, the extra textures will come in handy.  BTW, do I need gloves for the Poisen Ivy?

> Quote - ...BTW, do I need gloves for the Poisen Ivy?

I think you're safe ;o).

Here's the image (forgot before...).

Thank you for the ivy generator textures, Laurie!  :D
