Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks , Marc :)
Thanks, the more trees the merrier ;D
cool! :)
thanks for the trees
Nice one, Marc! :)
Marc, we really appreciate your generosity; thank you so much.
Bookmarked. Nifty and thank you sir.
This is a good looking site Marc. Thanks for all your hard work!
In a recent render I noticed you told someone who used one of your trees..."its not necessary to credit me everytime"....I beg to differ.
You deserve a lot of credit and it must be a great feeling to know you have influenced many artists and helped their images to look great.
Way to go man!!!......Keep on!!!
Thanks
Mark
I second Markal. Between yourself and Walli, my T2 work has improved alot. 8) It is the great plants. Otherwise, the renders would not have that much variation.
Very much appreciated, Marc! The site really looks cool, and your trees are the icing on the cake for a lot of people who don't have the possibilities to grow some! One thing that you might want to look at: everytime you hit a link to another page, the image rolls down again (page refresh). It's kind of annoying (if you're a perfectionist such as I am). I'll have a frequent look. Thanks!

Thanks Marc!!!!
Excelent work, great site and a brilliant resource :)
Thanks, keep it up :)
Richard
OMG. Cool. Thanks!
You Sir are Awesome. ;D
Thank you everyone. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I'm having fun doing it.
I have already made some updates to the Conifers and did a complete rebuild of the Chestnut Tree. You can view any site updates through the Site Updates link. Be sure to refresh your browser.
@Dune: I fixed the jumping around issue (I think) so, let me know. Good eye, sir.
Cheers.
Marc
Thank You
We need more people giving some of these things away for free. I know a lot of work is involved and artists should be paid for their efforts, but I can barely afford to pay my rent some months. I love to play with terragen though, and finding gems like these opens up a million new possibilities. Thank you so much.
Hey Marc, you'd have to move the 'decidious trees' background a few pixels to the right (or was it left). It's slightly off. Otherwise working fine! I like the simple, clean way you set it up.
Lots of people have said it before but I'll just add my 'thanks' too. Great work. Looking forward to your new additions.
Hi,
great ressource ... wonderful plants !!
Thank you !!!
Amazing stuff dude,
It's thanks to your generous kind of persons that my creativity gets fired up...
Cheers and greetings from the Netherlands !
@littlerocketstudios,
You are very welcome and thanks for the greeting.
Quick note. I'm redesigning the Trees for Terragen Website to be a little more friendly and will be adding some more trees. If you seem to not be able to connect just check back.
Great work! What are the rights regarding if I use these in images that I sell?
Do what you want just credit me.
Enjoy.

Hello everyone! Nice to know you all. But I am a Chinese, all of the words are in English. I am poor in English, but I really want to learn to use this soft. What should I do then? I'd love to make friends with forein friends. So, please email me after you see my words. I need forein friends with my English. Thanks! ありがとう!

I am sorry, I can't understand lots of English words, what should I do? :(

Excuse me, how to use these trees?
Download and use as an object alone or in populations.
If you don't know how to add models in TG2 to your scene:
Click on Objects - add object - object/population - pick Obj or Tgo (from MGebhart site probably tgo files) - browse to where you have your models - double click the model - now you see the model in your node list - place it on your terrain.
Otherwise you'll find hundreds of threads about this in this forum = use the search function.
This is a really great resource man, thanks for this :P
Cool site. Watching this spot!
How much longer for ProTrees? ???
Loos like I've showed up too late for everything! The site is dead?
I just noticed that too. What is going on?
As I understand it, he was in the process of updating it with a new design and more material. Not sure why he took the whole thing down, though. :(
Kind of strange that just when I need some trees for a project, both this site and NWDA are down. :-\

What files specifically were you looking for? I have quite a few of them myself. I may be able to send you some. Of the free ones, of course. All the ones I have from Gebhart were all free. Obviously, I would not distribute the NWDA stuff (although I have yet to purchase any from them).

Also, check out X-Frog's 130 free plants (google it). They have some good stuff. Not 130 distinct plants, however. Much of it is different age stages of the plant, but certainly a welcome addition to a model library.
Ah, yes, I forgot about the free xfrog trees -- I'll check them out.
I need a juniper -- there are several types and I'm not sure of the exact name. Probably see it after looking through the xfrog site.
My project is modeling two condo buildings and the current landscape. Then we can change the landscaping. The junipers go in the middle of the four "flower rings" in front of the buildings. About 561,000 polys so far, all done by myself in Lightwave (including the palm trees.) No real attempt at texturing yet.
Hmmm, I don't think Gebhart had any junipers on his site. If he did, I didn't download them before the site disappeared. It looks like Xfrog has a couple of models, and it appears one of them is available for free. There are a couple of other variations you can purchase, but the free one (click on the link on the right) can be found here:
http://xfrog.com/product/X-44.html (http://xfrog.com/product/X-44.html)
By the way, how is lightwave for modelling? Is it particularly easy to use?
Autodesk also has 96 xFrog plants that can be downloaded for free, and prickly juniper is among them. ( http://seek.autodesk.com/product/latest/agg/xfrog/xfrog-inc-greenworks-organic-software/ML07 ). You'll need to check T's & C's to determine fair useage. I've never used them in anything but private use.

Lightwave is great, especially for hard surface modeling. Combine it with the LWCAD plugin and it really shines for architectural modeling. There's some nice examples here: http://www.wtools3d.com/gallery.php
I think it's easy to use, but it comes down to personnel preference.

What about getting LW designs into Terragen? And texturing? Do you texture in LW and then import. Or must you texture in Terragen?
I usually texture in Lightwave -- mostly image maps or simple diffuse colors . I use Seamless Texture Generator Pro quite a bit for things like stucco, metals, flooring, etc. to make them seamless. And then Shadermap 2 to make the specular, normal, and displacement maps. I apply these in Lightwave.
Then I use the free Poseray program to import the Lightwave model. Poseray is great for checking/correcting geometry and gathering all the texture maps. Then I export it as a package into a Terragen "data" folder (this is the .obj and .jpg texture maps.) So I have all my originals in my Lightwave content directory and my new obj and copies of the texture maps in my Terragen folder. Poseray has the option to limit (convert) the size of the texture maps to say 512 pixels (many times it makes no sense to use high resolution maps on objects that won't render very large, and a good seamless map can look just as good at a lower resolution.)
On thing nice about lightwave is, if you build a model that's 10 meters tall, it will import into Terragen and be 10 meters tall. If you build it to set on the zero point (y axis) in Lightwave, it will import to the zero point (y axis) in Terragen. The x and z axis match too. This allows you to build an object at a certain x/y/z in Lightwave, then build another object at a specific spot relative to the first object, and then import each separately into Terragen and the positions are maintained. Hope that makes sense.
Looks like web.me.com closed down.
Is there a new download URL?

I haven't heard anything about his site after this.
I Haven't heard so much as a peep myself... ???
Unfortunately Marc hasn't been on the forums since June 16th. Hopefully all is well and he's just busy, as is so often the case for all of us.

Thanks Oshyan for the info. I find it troubling to see people once very active on here just fade away. As you said though. Probably just got busy.
