More compact tests: SF 3D models 261 with the help of arbaro and blender.
1) starting with Wolfram Diestel's quaking aspen xml. Like Puybarets version, only simplified a lot more (brutally) and converted to a birch. At 1071kB uncompressed, less than a third of the size of the original quaking aspen. Of course, not as rich in detal (like my garden birch).
2) a generic tree at < 300 kB uncompressed.
A lot fewer surfaces so these models can work better with SH3D on slower computers - and not bloat files.
Hope is to get a workable model with leaves down to half of the above sizes.
ok
