What you get from this package:
-15 unique models, each with 3-4 LOD levels, ranging from 50 to 1800 triangles; -seamless bark textures, with normal map;
-transparent leaf textures;
-mostly 512 x 1024 pixel texture maps; -256px billboards included, with normal map (texture atlas of all the tree variations = for optimising draw call count on distant, dense forest;-NOTE: leaves are one-sided planes. Use a double-sided shader on them;
These tree models were inspired by the Transylvanian mountain forests, each texture photo-captured from the tall giants which are green all year round.
The LOD system is necessary when you have 2000 tris in a nicely detailed model, but wish to populate your scene with many models, then the poly-count reduction comes in to save the day. All models have been tested in a large, open-world game scene, where they integrated and ran smoothly.
