here's a more recent pic of my garden. i'm having loads of fun making these damn things.

as far as i can tell, they seem to be improving slightly, but i still wouldn't be happy with releasing them as finished articles. the numbers relate to the number of the .mdl file in this zipfile
any offers of better textures would be well recieved, btw. ![]()

fishy, you are on the road to greatness, there is no doubt..
perhaps i can help?... your latest plant resembles a palmetto bush, but needs refined a bit.. hopefully these screens i got off the net will help.. i dunno how hard it would be to make them more authentic, but at least these screens will show you where to go..
BTW, yours aren't bad at all really, but the remind me of the prehistoric trees the dinosaurs used to eat, or at least the pictures i have seen of them
.. good work bud.

cheers Orf. i'll have a go at making some textures from those pics. shaping a model for them should be easy enough, but i think it'll be down to the textures as to how good it ends up.

then do a google search bud, as i optimized the hell out of those screens for the 56k among us... the quality is to low for textures i am afraid..
if you like, i can upload the unaltered versions?

i had a try with the ones that you posted, but there aren't any good clear shots of a flat leave, so i dont think i'd be able to use even the originals :/
you can see my hand-drawn version is almost lifelike anyway. ![]()

Seethrough textures... It's something only steam HL supports. Like { textures on solids in maps... same concept.
And as for not having the renderers it's because Steam is not 56k friendly. I'll get it in september when I get decent internet in my new building.

i had read that it was only a matter of replacing the hw.dll and the sw.dll files in your hl folder with the same named files from DoD 1.0
i don't have DoD, but i know it doesn't work by using the dll's from my steam directory. or maybe it does, and i just borked the attempt. wouldn't be the first time.
maybe someone with DoD1.0 could help?
anyways, i've zipped up some fern models. there's 2 trees and a hedge too. anyone thats interested can get them here.
there's also an updated model viewer for use with transparent models, available here , that might even deserve a mention on the utilities page.

| Mentioned; want me to put up those models on the models page too? |
i think some might be a bit high on polys, but if you think there good 'nuff, and people might want to use them, then yes, the models page would be good. ![]()
