High Poly Trees that won't slow your system
-
Those renderings really do look nice. Im more concerned about the motion when im in the model however. Im going to be presenting this and zooming around to show my different areas; i would prefer for things to run as smoothly as possible but the trees with the straight trunks seem to be bogging down my system soooo much. Why is it that these trees do while the other trees don't give my system ANY problems, yet look even better?

I'm not sure what the problem is.
There is a slight lag when navigating your file with my 3DConnexion, but using my mouse everything runs smoothly. The same goes if I use scenes.
I did try populating a plane with 700 of the trees and understandably SU started to struggle.
What kind of scenario is causing you trouble?
-
Why not set your presentation up as a Scene tab animation. Then you can determine which trees will be in the close ups and which will remain in the distance. The ones in the distance you can swap out for 2D faceme components and no one will be the wiser.

Good suggestion

And the ones behind the camera, hide completely.

As long as you frame the scene properly (a bank of disappearing trees might look a bit odd) or remove the animation between scenes

I got this tree earlier from this very forum, but I don't remember from whom and I'm too lazy to look it up.
I find it very useable. Also the texture for the leaves is neatly colorizable to green or whichever color you wish

I think it was Alan Fraser. Indeed nice one!

Edit: ok, never mind. I found it out.

hi!
hieru, how do you get background images and grass as demonstrated in the third and fourth picture you posted? is it just a 2d background drawing? do you draw a big square on the ground and texture it with grass? if you zoomed out a bunch would it still look like that? i'm having trouble with backgrounds!
thanks!

It's a spherical image (IBL) used in Thea Render with a shadow catcher material applied to a ground plane (see Solo's tutorial). The sky, tree line and grass are all part of the background image.
Using this method you can zoom out as much as you want - although you can run into scale issues.

I renders fine for me (however you cannot spin around as there are face-me components in it and the current version does not support them):
Do you get the clip loaded for the image file?
