Hey, been a bit quiet lately, just finished a proposal for a ceramics studio and thought i would use our new Xfrog Tree Collection, THER ARE NO PHOTOSHOPPED TREES IN THIS RENDER!!!, a grass overlay, colour correction, and a slight sky were the only photoshopping that happened, these trees are unbelievable, will post some close ups next week...

C&C welcome

Re: Competition Exterior

So you are saying that these trees are models? Thats amazing if they are...did you make them or did you get them some where, if so...where? Great work by the way.

So if are the plants models or RPC's?
Either way they look great.

Re: Competition Exterior

Tahnx for all the compliments
These trees are all models with the very last 2 levels of the trees heirachy being clipmaps, so in alot of the cases its just the twigs and leaves that are clip maps,which i believe makes a huge difference in file size, i saw a large evermotion tree being over 30 megs after being broght into sketchup, which is crazy, the biggest xfrog tree, after being crunched in xfrog, will be 11 megs which i can live with so the overall filesaize is managable

Nomer: getting the trees into sketchup is a bit of a run around but i dont believe too time consuming but u do have to open it with one of the provided 3d application to export to .3ds

was very happy with this grass, i think i should put together a tutorial on it because it was surprizingly simple ... my contribution to sharing the knowledge

File Size: 45 megs
Render time: just under 2 hours???
PC Specs: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4, 8800 GTX Nvidia 768 megs, 2 Gigs Ram DDR3

Re: Competition Exterior

so the xfrog trees will be in 3ds and imported to sketchup. are the xfrog trees already has texture. or you have to put the texture again.

Re: Competition Exterior

I downloaded a sample tree from their website. In 3DS Max I didn't see any textrues in the viewport. (Maybe I imported it incorrectly.)
But in SketchUp it loaded up perfectly. I think it uses tiff or pnf with alphas so you actually get a WYSIWYG in SU. All you need to do is hide the edges of the leaf clipmaps. Then it's setting up the clipmaps in V-Ray.

Re: Competition Exterior

yup, you can remap to jpg and png to keep ur file size down, also research xfrogtune, its a poly cruncher for the .xfr files (xfrog files)
