Autumnal silver birch 25'
-
It's been a while. Here's another tree. 3D...kinda, sorta...a tad under 400 faces. Not the usual Face Me configuration. See if you can figure out how it works...without cheating and turning off the attributes.

Very nice Alan. I like it.
-
Thanks Alan, nice tree
BTW, I'm afraid I fall into the non intellectual category! Just discovered Rossini didn't write it for TLR (and Tonto)

.... it fact I find it very hard not to imagine that and not to gesture that I'm on a white horse riding to save the fair maiden in distress
-
That's ok Mike. I can't hear the first part of that Rossini clip without thinking of the start of a Tom & Jerry cartoon...or whatever.
-
Hey, Isn't that actually a sign of intelligence, associational / lateral thinking?
-
Very nice Alan, seems like the leaf clusters are independant "follow me" groups that keep it looking 3D while spinning and up to a fairly high elevation.
-
You got it, Jim. It's good up to about 60°...perhaps a little higher, but can't go all the way to plan view. If you try to angle independent Face Me components, they start to corkscrew as you orbit the tree...very disconcerting.
There are 3 shadow casters in there to cope with longer shadows, but if you're happy enough to keep within a couple of hours either side of noon, you can delete the top and bottom ones. You'll only delete 2 faces but over half the edges in the model. Edges eat memory too.
