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

I haven't tried to make a tree lately, does the 3dsmax exporter still have problems with the sorting of large numbers of polys? When I tried to make a tree with to many branches, it would crash every time.

I have never had it crash on me when exporting. First step is to always export without the sort parameters and see how bad the sorting problems are before adding them.

If you use the sort:: stuff, and you have a lot of intersecting polygons, it can turn into a big mess as the sort:: splits the polys. It is better to not have intersecting polys when using sort, or if you do, use as few polys as possible. I have never had it crash on me when exporting. First step is to always export without the sort parameters and see how bad the sorting problems are before adding them.

And this:
Each branch is actually shaped like a little potato chip.
Not trick to the texture. Take a good photo and get busy is photoshop making a nice alpha channel for the transparency.
