3D-Diggers tree pack:
I'm currently working on a tree pack for the 3D-diggers, which will contain 4 different tree types, the first (firs) are allmost finished, here some pics:

giggsy.3d-diggers.de/wald.jpggiggsy.3d-diggers.de/wald02.jpggiggsy.3d-diggers.de/3d-diggers/snowytrees.jpg
The goal of this pack is, to create not only one tree of a kind, for example with the firs, you should be able to create a whole forest :)
(including all seasons)


The second tree type is the so called horn beam.
I don't yet know what the other two will be.


And oh yeah before I forget: all trees which have it nessasary have LODs.


The release date should be before december, I hope!
(just in time for Christmas ;D )
So check out our homepage once and a while: http://www.3d-diggers.de/

Good looking trees Christian. Hornbeam, or ironwood, sounds great. Please consider doing a nice maple or oak too.

Those pictures are too dark to see on my PC - not sure if that's a problem with my setup or your pictures.

Very good look trees! Very pacific northweset, I also like your many versions of the same tree idea, good luck!

The tree set I would be most likely to buy, would be 'old growth', with many vines and/or moss hanging. Some of the jedi games, as well as serious sam had these.
Really nice work on the fir group though. I like downed trees, stumps, and diseased limbs.

First of all thanks!


@price: I haven't thought about it yet, but it will surely be affordable and fair.
(like all the other 3D-Diggers products ;) )


Here's a pic of one of the horn beams(summer):

Nice work, I especially applaud you for having not only dead tree's, but downed trees and stumps as well. It's attention to detail like that which really sets a product apart.


One thing I have not yet seen anyone offer that could really set the standard is...

tree skirts.


Think about it.
