Better tree models

5 posts in this topic

I have always loved the look of terrain if it was made well. I have never known why terrain looked so good until I figured it out, TREES! I feel that trees are one of the biggest factors in the overall appeal of terrain. But the trees in TFC just look like your old bland vanilla trees. That is why my suggestion is that tree models should be Improved. How they should be improved is that they should use the models from the biome terrain mod (

). The models look simple, small, but beautiful, they really seem like trees you see in real life. My problem with tree repository trees is that there big, bulky, and complex, they just take up too much room. That is why I like biome terrain trees, they add lots of atmosphere with there small but complex look. If your wondering what the link was, it was a video cinematic for the biome terrain mod, it really makes it all look nice. Thanks for reading! (if you do :( I hope so)

While I would enjoy better tree models, I am unsure if that mod in particular is the best way to go. Some of the trees look very nice, granted, but plenty of what I've seen looked more like a mess of floating blocks and I wouldn't want that in TFC.

I agree with visitor, most of it doesn't feel right.

Visible diagonally placed blocks of wood looks really ugly in my opinion and I think that the "neatness" of TFC trees is more aesthetically pleasing than the supposed realism of the ones in the video.

Well when i was talking about that mod I was just saying that I liked the tree models, I liked them for there over hanging leaves.

I think the reason these aren't implemented in tfc is that it would break the tree harvesting

since the trees are connected due to the over hanging leaves chopping one tree would kill a lot in a very short time

which in my opinion would be deemed overpowered

but it would make it look a lot better just have to space them out and maybe base it on the real life space trees need.
