2021-10-25 Updated product
- Fixed some material presets which loaded some files that shouldn’t be part of the preset.
- The reference duf files in the data folder that are called by the script had some Dformer information included that was a leftover from development. It didn’t cause a real error but it created a warning entry in the log. That’s fixed now.
- The script files have been updated with the new version of this script that is included in “Randomizable Trees 2”; so it doesn’t matter which of the two products they install first.
When you want a lot of trees in your scene, it soon gets obvious that it’s always the same tree model, which makes your scene looks artificial. When you want to use different trees, you’ll run into the problem that they can’t share material presets, so you can’t get a unified look. Or you need a lot of trees for your background, and your tree’s resolution is just too high for that.
Randomizable Trees solves all your problems! The trees in this pack comes in 3 resolution levels: high, medium, and low — so you can have the same species of tree in foreground and background without wasting your system resources on HD meshes in the background.
This first pack of the series contains a general, classic tree type, but this tree can have countless different shapes! You can pose it manually, of course, but the real power of this set lies in the included Randomizer script. Use the script to create an infinite number of different trees. Low randomizing values in the script will create similarly, but still different trees; perfect for a tree-lined avenue. High randomizing values will create completely different trees that are perfect for woods and forests. Save out presets to create the same tree style for all resolution levels.
What’s more, the trees are asymmetric, so they will look like a completely different tree when seen from a different angle. That allows you to create a handful of truly unique trees via the script and then use instances to create the illusion of lots and lots of different trees. Mix and match bark and leaf textures for even more versatility. Each upcoming pack will add different tree types and textures to your range of choices. Start your collection now!
