Trees? And of course, water...

by Max C. · in General Discussion · 06/28/2003 (9:10 pm) · 44 replies

Two things: does anyone have some good in-game trees they'd let me use, and/or does anyone know of any good sites that provide tutorials/models of trees..?

And second: Does anyone have a good water texture?! The water in Torque...it just doesn't do anything for me.. Too blue, and too unlike water.. Thanks for your help,


Max

Well, there's always generating them dynamically at runtime: http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=4091

Max, you can also find some tree (palmtrees) models (and some other) on our side
www.3d-diggers.de look under "Torque"

there are also some wall and terraintextures.

Can I ask why you want trees other than the content packs trees?

@ $24.95 he must be pretty broke. They are practically giving them away as it is. =)

@Joe, heh, let him be... why should everyone us the content pack trees?
Maybe he needs other types, maybe he doesn't want his game look like any other game using content packs, maybe he hasn't got the cash, maybe no credit card, maybe he just wants to do his own... maybe... so on....

Not bugging him, just wondering if there was something in particular that would could change that would make a difference. We have had a few people that had questions about the license, were unaware that you can get radiaclly different looks by changing the textures, etc...

If it is a price issue, that is understood.

In answer to the particular question of "why should everyone being using the content pack trees?"

It is because they are at present the best example of how to create a working Tree for the TGE.

Many, many people have spent a great deal amount of time struggling with a few of the technical issues of how to build one. Changing the textures can change the look of the trees so that unique content can be created quickly.

We get the same comments over and over about the content packs, about how they saved the purchaser hours of scouring the forums trying to find out how to make something work.

Eric, keep in mind that 25 bucks is a lot of money if your a kid with no income, and just imagine asking your parents if they'll buy them

Timmy: hey mom, I really need these tree files for...
Timmy: well no mom, they arnt real trees, you see they are computer generated
Timmy: well you see mom, I need them for the video game I'm making
Timmy: no mom, my grades are fine... what? no I'm not back talking you
Timmy: *sigh* ya, I'll go get dads belt :(

or something like that ;)

Thank you everyone for putting words into my mouth.. I *really* appreciate it......

@Xavier: Thank you SO much for being the only one to defend me while I slept... God forbid what should happen if I take a vacation... I really do appreciate this Xavier. :)

Why don't I want those damned content packs? Simple, I am using a Macintosh computer, I can't unstuff them, and I don't care for the way they look to begin with, as Xavier said, maybe some people want to make their own trees, eh?

@Eric: [edit: this had to be removed, too much negative energy posted...]

@Sven: Thank you. :)

@James, and Eric: Eric, let those inner feelings out, tell us what happened when you were a kid... :P

No Problem Max. We have worked with people before who are not on windows so they could get the files. I understand that you don't like the way ours look and that you want to make your own.

It was an honest question, not a sales pitch.. I was just curious.

I wish you luck in your search for models and tutorials.

"maybe some people want to make their own trees, eh?"

Then why ask if people had trees they'd let you use?

And sheesh take a chill pill or two.
