drow 0 Posted November 4, 2003 Hello all its Drow from The Unsung, (Vietnam War Mod) http://theunsung.pyxishost.com/ I was wondering if anyone knew any resources for making trees and bushes - sites, tutorials, hints/tips etc. It seems like there's a lack of knowledge on the subject... and we would like to bring some new ideas to the OFP table and wondered if anyone could offer some help in the way of knowledge. (addon makers still needed at The Unsung too) Apprieciate it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXSHADOWS 0 Posted November 4, 2003 Veggey is one of the most easiest things to make.Are you talking about makeing the textures or something beside modeling.The modeling should be easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jojimbo_No_1 0 Posted November 4, 2003 well basically texturing is easy in o2 as you are mainly dealing with single planes.better get the ofp demo,and unpbo the data and data3d ,the trees and bushes models used are in mlod and are an exellent sourse for reference on how to,and what lods are required.if your gonna make a forest for your vietnam mod,the forests will require "paths" so the ai know where to run to get through the trees,or they will run all the way round.like they do with buildings that dont have a path through them, as for hint at texturing,go to a gardening shop with a digital camera and take a few pics of palm trees,or find pics on the web that are not copyrighted or ask kind permission. then,cut round the plant with your lassoo tool,point to point and cut out the middle parts.save as alpha channel,set the alpha contrast to maximum and save as tga. convert to pac or paa and map in o2.basically trial and error but the results can be rewarding.

drow 0 Posted November 4, 2003 pretty cool techniques there with the alpha channel, i have been designing for a few years and never used that, *btw, the embezier pen tool, which is harder to use than the lassoo, but its far better once you learn. (designers best friend) >though im usually too lazy and use blends and fades with eracer and such* thanks alot for the tips and insight, specially the forest paths thing.
