Updated SF 3D models 261
Hmmm, Puybaret's simplification of (tree_birch) is beyond what I can manage. But the result is fantastic, a proper tree to use with SH3D on slow computers. I did manage one smaller (tree_generic), but also with less detail.
As a compromise for those who dread bloated files and sluggish drawing, this could work. Beware that the rendering will also be inferior to much of what is found in the gallery such as Cec' shrubbery.
As SH3D only stores one copy of a model used several times, using just one of the trees and play with sizes and colours can make for a nice little forest without increasing the sh3d file size - in fact, the models will let you make a forest without adding more than a couple of hundred kB to a compressed .sh3d file. See example file trees_misc_simple.sh3d.
tree_birch_3_okh_epsml 553 kB
(zip model 214 kB)
__created with arbaro, simplified (blender) and simplified further by Puybaret (one with a red-orange gradient texture to simulate autumn leaves)
tree_generic_okh_sml 491 kB
(zip model 177 kB)
__created with arbaro, simplified with blender (one with a red-orange gradient texture to simulate autumn leaves)
forest_treeline 60 kB
__simple curve with texture to show a very simple and blurred forestline
tree_hedge_smpl_ok 7 kB
__simple hedge shape with texture applied later, can stretch lengthwise without distorting texture (unmapped), texture is .png indexed with few colours and alpha = < 5kB
tree_hedge_nostretch_ok 8 kB
__simple hedge shape with mapped texture, does not stretch well (same texture)
Tree_img 11 kB
__very simple tree with trunk and several surfaces with picture of maple tree (one coloured orange/red for autumn, same picture) - looks ok in 3D window, but does not render well
Sky texture: horizon_bvtrig.jpg 42,5 kB
__simplified panorama picture from a viewpoint to break the horizon line and trees (does not render in aerial photos)
Ground texture: .jpg 1,5 kB
__very simple seamless green picture, not beautiful, but relatively seamless (does not show as squares).
