      hi,
      i'm trying to get high Poly 3D trees to work smoothly AND look good in SU. this cought my attention and it is the best solution i found so far

      http://sourceforge.net/projects/arbaro/

      http://sourceforge.net/projects/arbaro/screenshots/56340

      it is a java based stand alone tree generator, freeware.
      it can export to .obj, which you can import directly to SU with fluid importer http://www.fluidray.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=10

      i got some interesting results. if you generate the leaves as squares, SU can handle it quite well (~50k - 100k faces).

      anyone got anything similar? i'm doing tree studies and could really use high poly, realistic trees

        Hi Peter,

        Are you aware of Blender Tree Generator ?
        Simple and very powerful.

        Making Trees in blender

        How to Create Stunning Trees in Blender

        Blender exists as a portable version that you can put and remove in a clean clic. So it is simple to try it..

          i briefly tried the blender tree maker before, but felt that it was kinda tideous to get good results. you don't really know what each slider actually does, and when you did find out, you forget 2 minutes later 😄

          gonna watch the tutorials now, maybe stuff will become clear then
