2.5D tree...
-
...haven't made one in awhile, so here ya go and hope you enjoy. I've adjusted the png to greyscale so it takes color in SU pretty good (in SU5 you can pick the image with the alt-bucket picker to edit just like any other material...SU beyond 5 you'll have to explode the image and hide the 4 edges).
Also, looks like I'm pretty much dead in the water for the next month or so...so, if there is still an interest, I have time to put together a disk of trees. If enough folks contact me (tomsdrop at swbell dot net) I'll do it and work out the distribution issues...they won't cost too much :`)
I should mention again: these tree files are programed to insert as faceme components...they won't react as such if copy-pasted from their skippys.

Nice tree, and yes it's been a while since you made these. Nice to see you back at it.
I have a few odds and sods and a couple of promises and awaiting approval projects, but all in all I am also dead in the water and it really concerns me.
I like your idea of putting together a tree pack, I may have to start soliciting my services too soon.Good luck on the disk, and I hope things pick up soon for you and I.

Beautiful Tom! I would definitely be interested in a disk of your trees... will you be posting the images of the trees here? I have used your trees on a couple of my projects and my boss loves them! I will be emailing ya...
-
Thanks, Urgen, always a pleasure to please you!
And thanks, David, so glad to hear whenever the purse-strings like the look!
Per your question about east coast natives: I've generally given up trying to build specific varieties of trees in favor of painting them...and wonder if that approach might work for you needs. I whipped up this "Nutmeg Hickory" this morning. It's made from a general loose-style leaf-mass png I am making for a bunch of different tree types. The specifics would come from how the trees are sized and shaped, and somewhat from the subtlties of the coloration. Love to hear your thoughts...?
Love to hear anybody else's thoughts too!
-
Sorry too to hear it, Pete...all the good and big projects from last year are on hold: back east they were either for the money-movers or needed to be funded by their donations; hereabouts it's state work with no funding available (maybe Obama will help with that :`)
Bottomline: a couple sheets of stair detailing (or even roof details) would taste pretty good right now (same email BTW guys and gals :`)

I'm fine with trees that look similar to the real ones. I do find that some of your trees that are really saturated don't work with some of my models because they tend to be distracting... but I always tone them down a bit it the material editor. So if you could just keep that in mind... thanks once again!
-
Tom, Great work as usual, thanks a lot.
Hope the work picks up soon.
-
Tom, I will purchase one of your disks. I've loved all the trees you've put out. I would certainly like to own a collection of them. You might consider providing them as skippy files and png files. That way Photoshop users and Piranesi users as well as Sketchup users would be able to use them.
Best as always.
-
Peter, great idea...these work?
-
Tom,
I'll buy a CD also. Paypal would be the best option I imagine.

Thanks M and M...always a pleasure doing business with you :`)
David, have finally clued in to the same and often mentioned thing and I'm hoping I've cut these back closer to the right amount...?

As of just a moment ago, the above statement appears to be pure hockum: you can indeed use the alt-bucket picker in SU6 and 7 without exploding the image...sorry for the confusion (really: always sorry when I'm that confused...?).
-
Tom I use your trees in nearly every project I do, the least I could do is buy a disc from you
-
Attaboy, Jon!

Been playing around this morning with different options on the same leaf png in the same tree...whadaya think? Also, really would like/need some feedback from you downloaders about the color saturation issue, thanks. I want to get that resolved before I make more pngs...much harder to fixthem later.
-
I downloaded a couple of your watercolour trees and they're brilliant.
I'd be happy if you made some more mate and would be please to buy them
-
Man, I am enjoyin' this day...thanks for making it so, guys! Here's another of today's png play (I might just be gettin' the hang of this...?):

Hi,
The latest ones are looking excellent especially the last bunch, infact i just used some of your trees in one of my scenes and must say they really added to the scene (my boss loved them) if i can get his Ok i will try and post some of the scenes i did.
-
I like your trees very much. As for the saturation issue, I think that you can make them as colourful as you like. For the user it's far easier to tone them down if necessary than to spright them up. That can be done with the material sliders, but increasing saturation on a grayish tone either produces nothing or is quite unpredictable.
