Excellent hi-quality trees, and for free too! Who doesn't love free stuff?
Thanks to Mr. Miley and Harvey Birdman!
Thanks you two! :)
There's been an ongoing discussion about bark color. I spent a long time looking at pictures of palms and after extended discussion with horticultural experts (I emailed mr-miley this morning) it has been decided that they should be browner. (There's a huge range of colors and textures on palms. Date palms are a lot different than coconut palms, etc.) I got what I thought were pretty good results by changing the diffuse color on the trunks and stems from the current gray (191,191,191) to a light brown (168, 136, 78). Keep the same texture, just change the diffuse color mixed with it.
Great work guys ;)
Looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing :).
Hey, all -
I've been studying the Palm Trees as I work with them and I found something I feel warrants changing. Look closely at the picture below and youll see regular pinch points in the trunk, points where the trunk is narrower. It really doesn't look right with this species of tree. At first I was uncertain of the cause - I though maybe it was due to the displacement I applied to the bark, or maybe a result of polygon reduction when using it in a population.
A little study of the Arbaro design file revealed that this was the result of a design setting - the author had put the pinch points in on purpose!! I don't know what to say - love the program, but the author has apparently confused bamboo stalks with palm trunks.
Having found the cause and a solution, I'm reworking the palm models today along with the two smaller ones not released yet, and then I'll repackage the lot and send it off to Mr. Miley and Ashundar. So, coming soon to a virtual arboretum near you...
;D
thanx in advance......
Thanks for working on that! The plants that some users are creating are really starting to look realistic :).
No prob. I just finished uploading them to Ashundar.
Yeah, Ogre's stuff looked pretty outrageous, didn't it?
Yes, I know, old topic - the download link doesn't work anymore. Are these or the updated models still available anywhere?
After a ...... errrrm ..... falling out ..... with Planetside Harvey Birdman asked me to remove the trees. I presume he also asked them to be removed from Ashundar too. Sorry about that.
Miles
A quick test.

Thanks a lot. I'll post the result to the image section once it's done. :-)
I'm working on a project of an OASIS "since I live in a similar region" and I m trying to make a Palm object exactly a saharien palm not a coco palm...
the final result will be posted as soon as it will be finished...here a test pic.

If you're interested in my date palm then tell me ...
Here a comparison between my Palm and HB Palm that I've downloaded months before ...
I'm living with palms "South of Algeria -OASIS-" and I did not like the HB trunk palm it's not a real trunk
