| Hey Folks Just wanted to know if anyone could recommend some sort of program for creating trees and landscapes.....? |
| ||
| For landscapes, definatly T.ED (its in the tools section) For trees go for Aliencodecs tree generation software, BlitzTrees is good if you want stuff like wind through your trees. But plantlife and treemagic are more speciffic, create your custom tree/plant/flower/fern ect. The only thing is there is no animation on them, you would have to manually create the animation in a seperate 3D program. T.ED: http://www.blitzbasic.com/toolbox/toolbox.php?tool=137 Aliencodec: http://www.aliencodec.com/ |

| Blitztrees is probable not available any more sold to game creators and they probable won't be selling it. |

| Hi, I would recommend also to take a look at some free plugins for 3dsmax, milkshape, etc.. for tree creation because in the case you want to manage some kind of shadow (lightmap) for your trees, the option of treemagic, planlife or similars is not good because these programs save the models in order to be imported directly from your code. |

| Tree[d] rules if you own Gile[s] :-) |

| For heightfield terrains Scapemaker is good and trees look at this thread http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=54062 |

| Yes, try Tree[d](Giles) for really low poly and good looking trees. |
