tree[d] trees

I have gotten tree[d] trees into Ogre through Ulitmate Unwrap 3D

Haven't tried with multiverse yet but shouldn't be difficult. I have imported Sinbad with animation.

The trees are animated. Low Poly!!. Have to edit the materials exported by Ultimate Unwrap 3D.

Basic workflow in tree[d] for a really low poly tree is render a good looking tree to a billboard.
Use the billboard as a cross texture without a lot of branch geometry.

Export to .X or .b3d. Import to Ulitmate Unwrap 3D and -> Ogre Mesh. Run the .bat file Ulitmate Unwrap 3D exports.
The .bat file runs OgreXmlConverter.exe which is available from the Ogre website http://www.ogre3d.org/

Then of course use the Multiverse Asset Importer.

Mod the materials file for trans leaf textures.

Thanks for sharing this! Smile

Not to hijack this tread, but have you looked into terrain generation for Muliverse yet? How do you plan on doing it for your world?

Haven't really started working on terrain yet.

I'd imagine using the Terrain Generator first, then import the .mvt into World Editor and finally open
the .mvw in Terrain Painter and let it convert the fractal terrain to a heightmap.

Cheers
