Lightwave Trees

by Thomas Foster · in Artist Corner · 09/13/2005 (5:17 am) · 5 replies

Hi,

Been trying this for ages, but just cant seem to get it to work..

Ive create a low Poly trunk and branch model, and then using billboards created the foliage, however it just doesnt seem to look right or work correctly. Also having problem exporting it as it doesnt take the textures, but ill post about that in the Art section.

Does anyone have a predefind model that I can disect in lightwave to look how its constructed? Or just a link to a tutorial, ive been looking for ages.

Thanks,

Tom

Wow, thanks a lot for getting back to me, this looks like it would be a great help.

After needing trees for my game/movie and not being able to create them I slowly gave up :(

but ill now look into these and see what i can produce and get back to you as soon as possible.
