tree[d] returns

[Fredborg]

Hi,

A few weeks ago someone asked about tree[d]...

tree[d] is an easy to use tree generator, which integrates with gile[s] as a plugin or runs as a standalone program.

I haven't spent any time on it for several years, but I dug out the code again, and decided to spend a few hours on adding a few bits and bobs, and so tree[d] returns...

It now has color sets for variation, and can do more fun stuff than before. In addition it exports directly to animated b3d and x...

Here are a few screenshots:






Download it here:
http://www.frecle.net/treed/tree[d]-setup300.exe (~15Mb)

tree[d] comes with some 50 textures which you can play around with.

tree[d] is free to use, with some minor limitations which are detailed in the license text.
Be sure to post your best trees here

(Ok, back to adding the last bits and pieces to the next gile[s] beta)

Hey this is really nice. Here's somethings that I thought could use improving maybe in the near future or farther beyond.

-Scroll bar instead of click and drag.

-When you export a model it exports the textures as well that way you dont have to go back and find them.

-Export with colors <- this would be the hardest thing to do since you would have to save each texture you had for each color and it would be a real pain..

Other then that its really fun to play around with and hopefully I can get some neat looking trees in my game soon.

Fantastic work! Your software always makes me wish I had a need to use it, the results are so good.

hello i find this great tree generator several days ago and when i try to import the trees in blitz, they appears without transparency

http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/4417/treewithouttransparencyfj7.jpg

i exported it in B3D format, how i have to texture it into blitz? if i use "entitytexture entity,texture" the "texture" that i apply will cover the entire model. how i can texture the trunk and the leafs with transparency??

thanks you.

[josecm]

also when i load a tree in Blitz and later i use "CopyEntity (entity)" command to have more copies of the tree without the need to load every trees, when i use "animate" to animate the trees, all the trees that i did created with Copyentity disappears!

i did it with others models and it can be animated well.

[josecm]

nobody?

Hi,

You probably need to modify the texture in a paint program, so that the transparent areas are completely black. That's how Blitz3D loads masked textures. Alternatively, you can load the texture using: http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1739

I don't know why CopyEntity doesn't work with the trees.. it should.

Anyway there's more info about about using it with b3d here: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=77339

[josecm]

thanks you. i edited the leaf in GIMP, i did put the zone that must be transparent in Black colour and now it appears transparent in Blitz. I did think that the exporter did it but you need to do it "by hand".

Is there any sort of camera control option in tree[d]?
I'm having trouble working with it right now because my tree is so far zoomed out.
