TGE Trees Work

by Apparatus · 06/20/2008 (6:38 pm) · 12 comments

I moved from water and rocks a bit to add some life to the mission; As it is right now large corona trees are not entirely great looking in TGE without some sway resource - animation may be a bit too expensive on each tree. On the other hand, smaller, younger trees, bushes and any other foliage could look just as good as any AAA engine.

Here's a tree from my next work, in 3 versions (default)- green, fall and winter.
