Yes it is, just colour adjusted

Ah, didnt think he gave the ok to distribute to the public.

While it does look good, since its only one tree.... it lacks a bit of variation. I would add some random color shifting.

configure: color variance =

They were used at mike08s Autopolis, so I got in contact with him. But you are totally right, I will get in contact with Ilja as well.

Agree on the topic of color variance, will try to play around with that in a future update.

Hey,
are you sure youre using the correct Track?
Looks different to me.
Please use this extension only on the original Monza from Kunos.
I highly recomment to not use any Track skins at all or an other extensions.
If you continue having problems, please dm me

That’s awesome! If you are still in contact with him… could you ask him how to use the system without 3D to billboard transition? Say I just want existing Y trees to face camera

Excellent, but not potato PC friendly, made me drop from 60 fps to 47 fps.
Not quite clear what exactly can be done in tree.ini to mitigate. Is it documented?

Hé,
êtes-vous sûr d'utiliser la bonne piste ?
Ça m'a l'air différent.
Veuillez utiliser cette extension uniquement sur le Monza original de Kunos.
Je recommande fortement de ne pas utiliser de skins Track ou d'autres extensions.
Si vous continuez à avoir des problèmes, s'il vous plaît contactez-moi

je me suis rendu compte que je me trompais j'aurais aimé mettre ça sur mon circuit je t'autorise à le faire tu as mon feu vert je t'ai mis le lien de mon circuit pour le modifier au niveau de la végétation https: //www.racedepartment.com/downloads/imola-1994-rf1-converted-for-ac-made-by-rachidsenna.41855/

You can change the LODs, maybe this helps:

[LOD_0]
MODEL = Birch_River_Desktop_8_Forest_000.bin
DISTANCE = 50

[LOD_1]
MODEL = Birch_River_Desktop_8_Forest_Lod1_000.bin
DISTANCE = 100

[LOD_2]
MODEL = Birch_River_Desktop_8_Forest_Lod2_000.bin
DISTANCE = 150

[LOD_2]

DISTANCE = 150

Forgot to mention:

To change the tree.ini you have to unzip the tree0.zip folder in extension->trees .
After changing the tree.ini, please make a new zip out of it with the same name (tree0.zip).

That's the point of Y trees, it saves a lot of FPS but it's ugly. With proper 3d trees, more polygons and less FPS

With good textures, Y trees can do a decent job, especially when the sun is up.

But 3D trees with billboard transitions really are "next gen" and work well on all sun angles.

And yeah, can't have 3D vegetation and higher frames... its either or

Thank you for this! Just a little request: can you name the zip file to something more relevant to the file, instead of just content.zip? It usually helps when having to keep trace of so many great addons.

Can you do it to me? for my track?

 

[Mark DENNY]

The trees look fantastic, well done but the trees in places pop up and complete the picture very annoying mainly when you are far away say at the beginning of the start finish straight as you get about half way down the tress in the distance begin to appear. Any fix ? any adjustment i can make my end ?

To be honest, I dont really know what Im doing next. I will take it in consideration but its a lot of work. For me its a hobby and I want to enjoy my free time, so I will choose what feels right for me.
