Any assets that a tree look like this?

[Pollawat]

Hello, I’m a newbie and I looking for a tree or some kind of assets in unity assets store to create something like this.

Speed Level Design - Redwood Forest - Unreal Engine 4 and World Machine 2

I accept the truth that “I have to understand a difference between these two game engine” but let focus on a tree only, I mean giant pine, or a tree body detail, etc.

Ps. Sorry for my bad English.

Speedtree?

SpeedTree can handle the actual modelling of the tree but you will still need high quality textures for the tree trunk, limbs, leaves, roots, and so on.

Alternative, and this is likely the better route for someone who is a beginner, you can purchase packs from them that have both the trees (pre-made configurations but they can be altered in the modeler) as well as the textures for them.

Just throwing my 2 cents in…

So, basically, yeah what Ryiah said… but here’s some more info:

I recently spent a while trying to make some trees. Even though the models looked somewhat like the source material it was the texture materials themselves that let down the assets, Even the leave textures looked good (thanks to Unity shaders) but the trunk materials sucked.

Of course you MAY be able to get the materials for the trunks on the asset store or some texture site…

There’s a free plugin for blender that lets you generate trees using all sorts of parameters. It’s very similar to speedtree as the software does the actual modeling but you still need textures and there is a bit of a learning curve. Here’s a link to a tutorial on how to use it in case you’re interested.

Not sure that scales as well as SpeedTree does in terms of LOD, or having dedicated foliage shaders that don’t depend on a non-realtime rendering system to get good results, I think something like this is more aimed at tree models for prerendered stills and animations isn’t it?

Yeah that’s what I thought to. Using the blender plugin will still be quite tedious in the long run but it’s still better than copy pasting leaves and manually modeling trees. I’m sure there’s a solution for LODs and foliage shaders but it’ll probably cost more time to learn and actually implement those solutions than just buying SpeedTree if one is willing to do so.
