Hi again, this is a rough random tree generator, it is still in early stages but it roughly makes random trees. I'm still need to limit some parameters. Please check it out and tell me what you think so far.

Looking good, but (didn't try the zip since it won't work on my web terminal):
is it 3D? If so, why are some parts alpha transparent?
2nd: it's looking rather high poly to me, what's the polycount and does it allow to limit the number of polies used?

Hehe no It's 2D, it would be quite an undertaking to make a 3d one. You would have to create splines then wrap them.
I wanted tohem to look like they were painted. It's not a traditional game but just a personal challange, for the expearance.

ok, i see. looks decent, especially for 2D!

I just find it extreamly interesring how you can imitate live with random numbers and some parameters... I hope to oneday make a 3d one...

Man thats really great!! I'm very impressed! The alpha stuff makes it look almost "dream-like"...kinda creepy! Nice stuff!

Hello.

Pish and Fish! Check this out for a fully extensible random tree generator:

repeat
tree = rand(1,5)
select tree
  case 1
    print "Oak"
  case 2
    print "Birch"
  case 3
    print "Willow"
  case 4
    print "Sycamore"
  case 5
    print "The Larch"
end select
forever

Meh, bleedin' amateurs!

:o)

Goodbye.

I found "the Larch" to be particulary pretty!
Hehe....well at least it's >some< sort of reeply I guess....

Very neat. You should add bumpmaping and textures to them too! And Option for leaves and stuff :)

Isn't bumpmapping a 3d command? This was written in blitzmax. I'm a n00b yet this was adapted from a Game Maker 6.1 creation I made.

Bumpmapping isn't 3d command.

Pete Carter

yes it is! you need the change in perspective to make it look 3d? 2d images stay the same as you move them so the bump map would be static. you could code iit but it would alot harder.

Bumpmap is used on 2D surfaces to make them seamly 3 dimensional.
