material and mesh setup for the Aspen Trees
About this image
The Aspen mesh planning is finished.
Now I fine tune the textures.
I used birch textures because I couldn't find a good Aspen source. And there grow almost only birch trees in my region.
But it looks pretty nice.
And I'm thinking about to make the bark look more like Aspen bark and I may change the color of the dead branches to white.
And I can't believe that these trees have only 2200 vertices.

I'm honored.
I hope that the skinning doesn't take too long.
This is the only process that might consume too much time.
Update:
Skinning worked like a charm.
The tree might animate a tiny bit too much. But it looks great ingame.
Honestly.
The Aspen trees work pretty good.
Two of the Reach trees give me more headache.
Especially Reachtree02.
But especially Reachtree02 is f*cked up because of the hanging moss. It is only an "enhanced" Vanilla version.
I can't even unwrap it properly.
I'm basically satisfied with the look.
And the trees will render pretty fast.
