Trees and Shrubery

[Atmoman]

Hello Joseph!

I was able to bring the four Unity trees you created into Unity.  It works fine.  The sizes of the models are good.  I did need to clean up some of the assets - not a big deal.  Basically, I went to all the leaf texture maps and turned on "Alpha Is Transparency" and for all the leaf materials I switched the shaders to "Nature/Tree Creator Leaves Fast".  In general, they look good.  The only concern I have would be that some of the texture maps seem to be a little bit low in resolution, which means I have to be careful not to let the camera get too close to those trees.  I would aim for 512x512 or higher for the leaf texture maps.  1024x1024 would be ideal.  But these are great and I am adding them to the actual game.

I can do 1024x1024 texture maps.  Will also check on "Alpha Is Transparency".   I may have used the legacy transparency.  

I used GitHub and updated my local repository with the latest version and compiled the game.  It ran smoothly, and I saw the trees on the 2nd planet of the system 123, 101.  The trees looked  great.

Will get busy creating more shrubbery / trees and fix the texture maps as mentioned above.  I will place a link to them  in this topic.

Marvin,

Here is an update: 

I have finished a set for water worlds of 3 large trees, 2 medium trees and 2 shrubs.  The textures are HiRes and the size is 1024x1024.  These are for water worlds (earth-like planets).

I'm uploading the unity package now... It will probably take about 10 minutes or so to upload.  I tested the import and it worked.  Sorry about the input textures that were packaged with the trees.  They weren't supposed to be.  Its ok though, just keep them since they were free downloads anyway.

I can also re-do the original trees/shrubs I sent if you like, and include them with the next set.  All I have to do is replace the low/medium resolutions with the high resolution textures I now have.

When they are finished, I will start work on trees for the Molten Worlds.
