Yay I love redwood trees! <3

there pretty cool keep em comin

@MrMiyagi - But which issue? If it's the LOD model, even Shroomblaze has given up as far as i can find. Because u can't import a LOD model for trees. They use a billboard system. Though a CO dev said he might try to improve the existing system to make better billboard LODs.
I don't have plans of making Ents. But I do believe that the Redwoods are happy to play along. Hehehe.

I don't know either lol. The problem is that the 3D modeling vocabulary is like Greek to me... :D Anyway, he's a really nice person and gave me lots of help trying to make trees. I believe I read a comment by him somewhere about his palm trees that had the same issue, and that he found a fix for it. I'm almost sure there should be something about it in the Paradox forums.
Oh, by the way, I used your Redwoods as Ents in my Isengard map (lol!!). I think you'll like the screenshot cartoon which is the first image: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=446115071

@MrMiyagi - Thx :) I am not sure which solution u are hinting at. I can't see anything related on his account. Though color variations did get added to the default settings for trees. So I have to look into that at some point.

Hiya Djelle, I love redwoods and I love what you have done here! I thing Shroomblaze figured out a solution. Hopefully you will still want to work on these :)

Thx @Hambr.
This is a limitation in C:S. The only thing I could add is colour variations. Which I haven't figured out how to do... yet ;) The biggest problem is that trees don't rotate randomly. This is because of the way the lod is working with trees in this game. With that said, I just realised that I should have rotated the Young version a bit to have a bit more variation. I will fix that.

great mod, very well done, but the trees were very similar, only the changed size.

@romannets - Yea it is bad :( As I also wrote in the text, the game doesn't support custom made lods for trees. Can only hope that this will be changed in an update. Though I read somewhere that they use a special lod system for trees, which doesn't include a normal lod model.

Bad looking LOD sorry.

i live in northern california in the redwood forest.
this is a great mod, thank you.

@Are Rising. Per definition, tress ARE old ;) Anyway. I don't plan to start on more trees. At least for now. Sorry.

I was actually thinking of this tree ;) To make this one have more branches. But it does make sense to make a new version instead. Cheers.

I think that would be awesome, I think this one turned out pretty good .that's what's so fun about making trees is there so many different shapes and sizes coastal redwoods there more full .with giant sequoias you have a nice big trunk but fewer branches. Im even hoping someone can figure out how to make a growing tree in the game I know SimCity 4 had one you could plant and it will grow I wish I had the brains and the time to be able to do moding. I started out with the original SimCity so that gives you a idea how old I am so I appreciate moders like you are willing to make the game fun and realistic for us old timers thanks again for your work. and thanks for the info I forgot all about the game having actual wind in it there again it tells you I'm used to old school

@Iceman380. Initially I was afraid to make the model too big. But it turned out to be well within limits. So I am considering to add some more brances to make the tree more full/dense. What do u think?

I haven't heard of such a mod. But if u plant them in a bigger group, they will block the wind which will stop them from swaying.

do you know if there is a mod to stop the trees from moving ?

Looks very nice will give the game a hole new look and now I can make a cool looking forrest with all the lumber mill's mods thanks for all yor work
