Shush, I'm allowed to forget these things from time to time!

Thanks, Peet.

Exposing the tree generators parameters to a config file might not be a lot of work, and it could have some very nice results..
Just an idea.

Just a GOOD idea.

I was just messing with that actually:

It's not quite as flexible as an L-system, but...

Hehe, I was thinking the same, Matt >_>

I always thought Rome Total War's trees were excellent for low poly things that still had to be seen close up on occasion.

Aren't the current trees also the wrong size?

CNC3's trees are fairly decent and lowpoly I'd like to add.

How are the trees generated anyway? DOes anyone know? Is there jus tlie ka list of peices like "Trunks, branches, leaves" that get randomly aranged and scaled? Or even just 1 peice for each i suspect right now.

It would be no bother for me to create some new peices that would work in such a system if thats how it works.
