For Blackwood, Westhill, Kyoto, Autocross, Southcity and Aston

A while back, after installing Lynces brilliant Revolution Pack I noticed that the trees in LFS look somewhat 'dated'.
I've replaced them with high-res trees I found via Google and a lot from photos I shot round my hometown.

The trees do not follow their prefix, so trees from on track tend to appear on others
(i.e SO has no single tree texture of its own, uses KY and BL ones) I tried to pay attention to that.

I can't really help you but I just wanted to post in order to encourage you to continue. Even as work in progress, this has great potential I think.

they look good, but because the trees are drawn by two intersecting polygons(?), i imagine they'll always look funny until they do some sort of environs update.

Just paint each tree a wildly different colour, or remove the texture from the dds folder and isolate each texture. Infact, I did that once, looked quite funny

Or use procmon, here's a list for BL1 (probably for all of Blackwood)
And out of that, everything with "tree" in its name:

• Treebak2ATEST.dds
• ASTtree1ATEST.dds
• ASTtree2ATEST.dds
• ASTtree3ATEST.dds
• WSTtrees6ATEST.dds

You could try and send a message to the devs. and ask i am pretty sure that they would tell you

@ACCAkut. Looks really, really interesting.

Much encouragement, brother.

For what it`s worth, grab the nvidia dds thumbnail viewer and it`ll make life easier. Saves having to go through each file one at a time looking for foliage

http://developer.nvidia.com/object/dds_thumbnail_viewer.html

could also run DDS Converter to change all current .dds files to .png or .jpg and check thumbnails that way.

The trees and bushes a lot of the time really don`t match up to the regular naming conventions, so it`s a case of looking through the thumbnails for green blobs.

Lemme know if you find a new texture method that kills the vile orange triangular faces on the top of the 1st floor on the autox uni building, and I`ll finally release the rest of the high-res track pack with the autox textures included (although I just know Eric needs to change the mesh first )

Had a look around before (for other game mods) to find some decent tree textures, but there isn`t much around. Best bet is to head out with the camera, take the pics, and put the time into cropping and tidying up the texture as best as possible... .

:edit:
btw, look at the attachment to see what happened when I got a little crazy and changed one of the KYO trees to a red blooming one

Actually, I quite like the look of that!

EDIT: Ok, just installed them. I will test them out in an hour or so, then will come back here with some Comments.

Umm... it's been a while since i was in the city, but where are your pit boxes?

Trees look interesting. I havn't checked them, but thx for trying

@ JazzOn: the pits begin where the Castrol banner is, I just used a very high FOV for that pic

@French: I think the red one fits Fernbay better, just need more caribbean vegetation in jpeg form to start that track.

at all, did anyone try those I linked to two posts above?

I made experiment with trees long time ago, now it is like this.. Could You help me, PLEASE ?

looks good will def get the final when its done man!

This WIP is simply brilliant! The final missing element to making LFS look amazing.

Good luck with your work

Any change of sharing what you have done upto now, it would be really appreciated.

I haven't done much, the files I linked to above will most likely stay as they are now. I did some for FE tho. Atm one unidentifiable file keeps me from releasing what I have up to now (which will cover KY, AS, BL, SO and the AU area), I made a screenshot of it below.

Found a little tutorial about creating trees in 3DSMax. Not exactly off topic so i thought to share it Keep up the good work ACC!

The files you uploaded to that site are not there anymore.

I think the texture you are looking for might be GWbushes1.dds ?

Dont leave us hanging

It looks like you've deleted the alpha channel - any chance to revert to standard textures?

Bumpidy Bump + Release (see first post)

'File does not exist'

strange, worked for me all the time. I upload it to rapidshare. Will add link in first post when its ready

its up, but only download-able ten times May someone share some server space?

edit: new upload to load.to, filename was in wrong format (the ' had to be removed)
