Saw this on Facebook.
Not sure what kind of EULA they have or if there is one but there are many objects. Trees too.

Thx for sharing the link. There is a license tab there and it seems that all free stuff belongs to Krzysztof Czerwiński. And he states there this: All materials (textures, models, scenes, tutorials) which you can download in zip or rar archive are ready to use in private and commercial projects. DO NOT RESELL any package, pictures or any other materials from this site.
I'm the only one owner of all rights to all materials which i'm sharing by this blog (mp3 files, jpg files, png files, 3d models, photos etc). I made it by myself and i'm sharing it with community for free.
Thanks Kadri. I downloaded the trees (never enough of 'm), quite heavy files, so I'm curious what quality they have.
I tried to load one but after 6-7 minutes of no response from TG I crashed the program. Did they worked for you Dune?
I have tried one or two of the tree files a while ago (when Hannes converted the
oxio guys) and they loaded and rendered without problems,untextured iirc.
spotted this on FB earlier... quite some goodies there!
:))
Thank you! Looks like very attractive models. I tested the birch group (group 6). The object crashed Poseray so I was unable to isolate a single tree as the OBJ contains all 3 variations. It is a heavy mesh, indeed!
Otakar i separated them and wanted to share them here but after Poseray one tree is 406 mb .
As a Lightwave file all 3 of them are around 110 mb separately.
Maybe someone can get them into a more reasonable size with a better (for lower size) OBJ exporter.
I haven't looked much at the options in Poseray and Lightwave but at exporting the file size is increasing too much.
Wow 400Mb for a tree...pfff...
Haven't had time yet, but what do they look like up close? Does the weight offer enough quality?
I opened one and i think that the weight doesn't offer the expected quality.
I have edited my post above to make it more clear what i meant.
As for the quality: deleted them after a short inspection.
Too much work to put into them in relation to the quality,
from my point of view.
I loaded the birch trees into Lightwave and rescaled them by a factor of .01%. Deleted the ground-plane and fixed the non-planer polys. Saved each tree individually. Poseray doesn't like the center tree in the image below -- hangs on the recalculate normals -- but the other two processed fine.
Not very good up close but okay for distant populations.
How much big is the OBJ file Jaf ?
Left to right..... 81.7 mb, 219.6 mb, & 142.8 mb.
I see. Interesting my file after exporting from Poseray was 400 mb or so as i said (for one tree without ground plane).
Curious from where the difference comes.
Here is a closeup of one of the trees. Not too bad, of course it's not Walli quality :)
If it can be shrunk and divided up (I don't have Lightwave, but maybe Blender will do) I still think it's quite usable for mid-distance and beyond. I kind of like the shapes.

Not sure. Actually, maybe we are using different files. The one I used as a test was "001_Birch_Middle_Age_or_Young.obj". Below is an image copy of the directory I used. The "_a", "_b", and "_c" tags on the filenames are the individual trees as they came out of Lightwave & Poseray.
Ah yes! Because of 3 trees i thought it was the same object.
I used at my test the 006_Trees_OBJ file.
Kadri, I isolated one tree from this file (006) in Blender (was a pain because the leaves of 2 trees are part of the same mesh) and exported the OBJ. Came out to 94MB. However, Poseray wanted to export it as some 200MB monster so I'd skip that step. Under 100MB per tree is not completely unreasonable, IMHO. The tree structure is certainly quite fine in this example, most of the low poly trees I've seen are (naturally) way simpler. They would also make nice bare/winter trees.
Yes after exporting from Poseray they got too big unfortunately.
Thanks for posting the detail. Actually, it doesn't really look like a birch tree (structurally). I think I'll delete the files again.
There is one pair of files in that list that are usable, the textures are huge so I reduced them which takes the file size down some. The files are:
Acer_Trees_V4_OBJ.zip and Acer_Trees_V4_TEXTURES.zip
There are 3 each of varying ages and poly counts making 9 models so it's a fairly large dl...approx. 170 M for the obj's and 8ish for the textures.
I suspect they are these:
013. 9 models of 3D Trees for other 3D software (OBJ files + textures)
014. 9 models of 3D Trees - TEXTURES PACK ( 7 MB)
