Tiles used in the shot are from the high desert set made by Red Shift (which is awesome).

 

[Warimathas]

i like it a lot, good texture for a low size. good job

 

[thekebecer]

It's look very good on the preview and have a not so high file size, I think I'll test it and possibly adopt it.

 

[Cakedog345]

Good job !

 

[-Grendel]

i like it. i like it a lot.

"has the looks of a high-res tree at a much lower size cost. "

80kb No.

 

[Adiktuz]

The high res trees cost about 500 kb for one uncompressed texture, and some uses two which makes it about 1MB if uncompressed, and this models looks like them but at only 80kb... plus it has animations...

 

[RiotZ]

I <3 you Fin. You never cease to amaze. 5\5 for file size and animations.

 

[Orcnet]

neat

 

[GhostThruster]

Amazing. 5/5. MAKE A FREAKIN JACKAL ALREADY

 

[-W3SK3R-]

I always need it a tree like this. +rep

 

[InfernalTater]

Not a low file size, but it is a wonderful model which is worth the somewhat high file-size for doodads.
5/5.

 

[Fingolfin]

It has a very grainy texture with a detailed alpha map and hence it doesn't compress very well.

Like someone said though, it beats using the high-res trees for one mb each!

 

[Zwiebelchen]

You know you can compress the textures on b2ms highress trees manually, to reduce them to 50-100kb, dont you? And yes, they still look awesome then.

However, this model looks pretty good. Welcomed addition for my terrain, I think, especially to have some diversity from the b2m models.

 

[Fingolfin]

Yes, i know that, but their texture layout is still terrible with lots of empty space that could be filled, and many of them use several textures. I used a compression rate of "65" for this texture in war3viewer, you could propably go down to 50 or lower if you want to, but i thought that would be up to you.
Also, as above stated, they lack animations and doesn't blend in as well with warcraft terrain.

Glad you liked it, still!

 

[Adiktuz]

I hope you make more trees like this...

and hopefully if it doesn't already have, a moving stand animation?

 

[Fingolfin]

I could propably fix a moving stand animation.

A couple of more trees are on their way also, perhaps i'll make a short variation of this one, and also i got a dead tree and an oak.

 

[RiotZ]

You need to make a Ficus.

Only then will you attain greatness.

 

[Brombie]

Nice one. Perhaps the first one I've come across to resemble a real tree, and not a cartoon pine tree.

[marko9]

Nice man I love it...5/5

 

[Remixer]

I can not get it working... It will show up in editor but no in-game. What´s the matter?

 

[Fingolfin]

If you used it as a destructable, you need to make sure that variations are correct etc. It should just be 1. Do some searching in the forums.

 

[Remixer]

I use it as a destructible variations are only 1. Also I´ve checked 3 times importing paths so I can not find out what is wrong.

 

[Adiktuz]

can you post pics of the destructable data?

 

[Remixer]

can you post pics of the destructable data?

You mean pic from my object editor ?

 

[Adiktuz]

yup...

 

[Remixer]

Sorry that I am abit newbie with these things but how do I take a screenshot from my map editor when Object Editor is opened. I know how to take a picture when it is closed but how when it is opened?

 

[Fingolfin]

I actually don't think it is possible. You can take screenshots of the editor, but not of it's windows. You are propably better off just writing off the different data fields and values in your message.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Huh? I don't have problems screenshoting that :S

 

[Remixer]

So I do so.

Art - Fixed Rotation : 270
Art - Model File : war3mapImported\Fir.mdl
Art - Model Variations : 1
Art - Replaceable Textures File : Fir.blp
Art - Replaceable Texture ID : 32

So I think that those are the most importants.

Don´t you? Atleast I can not take a screenshot when my Object Editor is opened.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Great model, will use it in both my projects.
keep up the good work!

You also need to make sure that "has lightweight model" is set to false. You don't need to change replaceable texture file since that is not used in the model. Also, i personally like to set "fixed rotation" to -10, so that it can spin freely.

 

[Remixer]

Thanks you! Now it works

 

[Animalpower]

It does not work for me, IDK why. Fir.blp and Fir.mdx set.

 

[valkemiere]
