Changelogs
Version 1.02
Better mipmaps so textures don't shimmer when viewed from a distance
Version 1.01
Corrected path to meshes so updated meshes will actually be applied now
This is a complete rehash of my original Needled Tundra Shrub mod. I started over completely by taking some new images of a Florida Rosemary branch and working them into a new tundra shrub texture. Since this deviates from the original I decided to post it as a new mod and leave the old mod up. I don't want to make things too confusing by adding too many options on the original mod.
Here are the key differences between this version and the old one:
This mod replaces both the texture and meshes for the tundra shrubs. The mesh edits were only for making sure that the texture doesn't clip and to adjust the alpha properties (i.e., transparency around the texture). The geometry was not touched so the mesh edits should not cause any performance issues.
The texture has been completely reworked from the ground up from new source images. The colors are smoother. The needles on this version also do not look quite as spiky as the original and there are more needles per branch.
I hand worked the mipmaps to prevent the tundra shrubs from getting a white halo around them as you get further away from them.
The size of TundraShrub07 and TundraShrub08 was reduced. I did not think they looked as good when they were larger.
