Foliage Modeling Tools
There are a lot of tools for modeling high-resolution plants, but few for modeling game-resolution models. Here are a few...
- TreeGen script for 3ds Max
- ngPlant
- frecle tree[d] (exports formats .B3D, .OBJ, .X)
- TreeMaker script for 3ds Max
- Branches script for 3ds Max
- SpeedTree in UDK ($)
Foliage Rendering
- TransparencyMap#Alpha Blend
- TransparencyMap#Sorting Problems
- VertexNormal#Foliage Shading
- Emissive
- NormalMap
- Foliage Alpha thread from the DIRECTXDEV mailing list.<
>Programmers reveal the rendering and sorting methods they use for foliage alphas.
