T3D Environment Pack, Final Environment, Tropical

For those who haven't heard of my work with this environment pack, please take a look at my former blogs. I feel very highly confident that this art pack will prove VERY helpful to many out there who do not have the time/required skills to produce a large amount of high quality textures, nor to slowly figure out the terrain tricks for themselves.

This scene here is the Tropical environment. I think this particular environment has some of the most potential out of all of them. As with the others there's a lot that I'd like to do post-release for this. I already have a handful of effects mostly made which should be released shortly after as an update. I'm mostly just pushing to wrap everything up and release so I can get that part out of the way.

This version of tropical forest has a small body of freshwater. The climate file, while not at this moment, will support for tropical saltwater environments as well. A large amount of effort was put into this but ultimately an acceptable solution couldn't be made in time.

First I'll post a few very high resolution screenshots to just show the textures themselves. Below this is a video that shows a short simple fly-around looking at the textures and showing the relation of the texture pattern to environmental water. In the walk-through I make multiple pauses to look at the textures around me, showing the relation of them to the player. Keep in mind, the textures can very easily be scaled bigger or smaller, that is all a matter of personal preference. What is shown here is scaling I personally like, but you can adjust it to anything you like.

Be sure to watch fullscreen 720p if you want the full effect.

I am so glad that bird is not in my game. :P If a game had that bird sound in it I would have to keep the sound off at all times. :P Take out the bird sound the loud one and you got your self some good sound without that bird.

Effects would be nice to have hope you work on some maybe.

O and nice picture of that dog at first looked like a seal.
