I wanted to see how many trees I can create from a single UV layout, and created this product containing 100 tree objects which are multiplied by over 20 leaf textures, creating over 2000 different tree designs. Those trees are semi-realistic, as some of the leaves I put on the trees are actually taken from smaller plants like shrubs. Also some combinations, like a palm tree object with maple leaves, will most probably not be encountered in our solar system(somebody checked inside Jupiter already?).
This product can get really handy for game and architectural design, also for 2D design it can be useful. Find more ideas under the following purpose section.
============= Purpose =============
The purposes of this Product are the following:
- Having a big library of various trees.
- Mass production with middle to good quality.
- Many tree objects that share the same leave textures, therefore flexibility regarding the leaves used on the trees.
- Providing different forms of trees (regular, hanging, hedge, palm like, willow like etc…)
- Being able to change all trees (or group of trees) in a scene to have a different type of leaf.
- Usage in 3D game designs, either just as plain tree objects, or as a customizable theme setup where the user can choose their preferred leaves/wood.
- Usage in architectural designs
- Rendering many trees with transparent background which can be used for:
- 2D designs, either gaming or any other area it might be useful
- Improving 3D rendering speed by replacing actual objects with image planes
It is not the purpose of this project:
- To provide PBR material setups for the leaf textures. The textures are based on real photos of leaves and the results look realistic to a certain degree.
- Botanic accuracy is also not a focus of this project. The leaves are from various plants and are put on any of the tree objects. Therefore, many trees are created that do not exist in reality but still often look quite real.
============= Product Specifications =============
In this product you will find a Blender File containing:
