i would say stop there on this mesh , unless you will want to learn all the exact process of all this billboard technic.
and share your experience [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />
i think i ve getting it , all the works you've done and the results of each things you've learn through all this process...
i kinda understand i need to start over with new textures. New texture which represent a bigger picture of all a "branch" should work. i aimed too much down to a single leaf and thats the problem. i need to aim for a better .png. Something that will rather represent a whole branch instead of a single leaves.
in that way also, it will cut the number of planes in the mesh. i noticed that number of place is more than a pain when it is time to pick up all those leaves and shrink them down; and hoping once it has been billboarded it represents what we figured for. ^^ Also because too many , make it hard to see the trunk, the branches, and the leaves itself. it is just a mess to try to work with that.
so i am starting over, and try to use all your work [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />
i really thank you. You made us ALL learned so much !! <3
Edit: here will be my new .png [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" /> it represent more a full branch. i've been able to put the texture of the trunk and 3 type of branches adding some more natural shadows.
and that way i wont have to multiply the number of leaves by 3X for 3x darker colors, and a each has a dozen of the "leaves.png" i had. i think it is more intelligent from me to work with that instead [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />
Edit2: i also did a new "trunk" with full 3D. everything has been "assembled" with the compound method i shown on WoB and it is made from 1 single piece easy to pickup.
