Agreed, nothing useful about that post atall.

I've downloaded almost all your mods and I am very impressed by the way you changed Morrowind ugly "square-trees" into nice leaving trees with rich and animated foliage. Since I belong to those who silently appreciate all your work, I would like to use this thread to tell my gratitude to the modder who has given life to Morrowind flora. Your work is amazing. It is no more possible to go back to original trees or to use Vality & Liztail's animated grass without your textures.


I would tend to agree partially with this critical view: West Gash trees are probably a little too close to Grazelands, flora of both region looks quite similar now, and, for example, West Gash could be closer to Bitter Coast, more humid, or at least not so green... or a mix of dead trees and green ones (there are more dead trees in the original West Gash if my memory serves me well). But you've already released many nice models and such arrangements are made easy for us.

BTW, may I ask if you plan to release any new herb for Solstheim (frozen or slightly covered by snow)? Probably not so easy to make, but I am sure it would be more then welcome.

In the new version a few (maybe all, havent decided) trees will have more brown/yellow/redish tone, to make it at least a bit different. I might replace one of my trees with a dead tree that I originally created for the BC region.. I'll probably update this mod a trillion times like always before i'm happy

Mordicus, Thanks, im glad you like my mods.

I HAD plans for that so i already have snow covered grass for that region somewhere on my HDD, but i have no idea how to use the utility that creates the .esp grass, can't say i tested it for long, i gave up pretty quick on it heh.. Maybe someday i'll take a look at it again.

they are not bad just because you don't like them...

Yay! :clap: Can't wait to see the next version then, really glad you're giving this a try!

And yeah, grass for bloodmoon would be great, I can see why creating the esp might be complicated though.

Seconded.

I hope you're gonna like it, I've updated the first post with pics of the upcoming version. Colors arent 100% final yet but close

Would these come as an alternate texture or the default?

I can release 2 sets of textures, since maybe the red leaves arent for everyone..

The multi colored leaves looks great, I think I will be trading in for them. :goodjob:

Oh yeah! That's just what was needed to give the West Gash a more distinct look. Sadly, I was going to pass on the first version.

Fantastic! :thumbsup:

I do! :foodndrink: I just checked the new screenshots out and this is exactly what I was thinking about and hoping for! :celebration: Thank you very much for this new version, this will be one the first mods I'll install once I get my morrowind disc back!

Great job!

I too like the new version.

vurt, these are just divine! the red leafes are... i don't have a word for them!

Oooo, I like the new leaf color's!
When this new ver is released, I think I'll def snap it up.

Excellent mod Vurt. The trees look absolutely amazing. Although, I have a small suggestion for your wind animations. At least to me, the leaves and individual trees seem to be a little too in unison with one another. The trees seem to almost be breathing rather than swaying in the wind. I'm not sure if you did this on purpose due to engine limitations or something, but I was wondering if you are planning on making the animations more random later on. Not complaining at all btw, just suggesting .

I thought the original shots looked pretty good, but the newer ones (with red and green leaves) are just astounding! Can't wait to add these to my game this weekend...

Vurt, nice work.

I saw it ingame, it looks it can breath. very good look trees.

look forward to your grazeland tree replacer and bloodmoon tree replacer.

Very nice. I like the colored version. This will definitely be added to my next playthrough.

@vurt:
Have you considered making a straight replacement for Bethesda's meshes? You probably have enough trees to do that by now.
What I mean is that if you were to select some meshes that were the approximate size/scale of the original Bethesda ones, they could be replaced (more or less) seamlessly. This would be really handy for big mods like TR that are still using Bethesda meshes. Obviously it couldn't be perfect, but I think it would be better than nothing since you have made the best trees available.

Just a thought.

Wolvman,

I'll try to change the speed between the animations and see how that will work. It's not even my own animation (i have no clue how to do animations!), originally it is used for Bethesdas water and such animations for the game. I've just managed to incorporate it / tweak it using NifSkope.. It's a very limited animation, unfortunately!

addf,

yeah the first tree mods i made were esp-less replacers and it worked well i think, so it would definetely be possible later on when i have even more trees. I still have 3(?) regions left to do.


Thanks for all the kind comments

The red leaves are absolutely wonderful! :thumbsup:

Probably done tomorrow.. now im off playing some Just Cause 2

Nice!

New version is up on PES.

I'd like to second that request. The trees look beautiful, but I prefer pluginless replacers.

I third this. I love the look of the trees but I'm trying to keep the amount of plugins in my game as low as possible.
