[RELEASE] Alien Tree Textures

[piratelord]

I've decided to change some of the tree textures to make things feel a little bit more alien, plus rebalanced some textures (especially the very dark trees) and adjusted some tree shadows to be more consistent.

DOWNLOAD: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/463 ... o/tree.zip

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
This is a zip file, and the contents will replace the entire tree folder found in ...\Factorio\data\base\graphics\entity\tree
I highly recommend making a copy of the tree folder so you can always restore the original textures, or certain textures.

USAGE:
Feel free to use where ever, plus if the devs want to make use of the textures, I'm more than happy for them to! All images have been made using an old copy of speedtree that I own, and then manipulated in photoshop to match the game.

Some screenshots from development:
Twisted Oak (replaces dark-green-tree)


Devil Palm (replaces red-thin-tree)


Barrel Tree (replaces dark-thin-tree)


Other changes:
dark-green-thin-tree - new shadows and colour balance
green-thin-tree - new shadows
green-tree - new shadows
red-tree - new shadows and colour balance
root-tree - colour balance

Can you spot the new trees? Look carefully:


Here they are when manually placed:

One more new tree variation, my favorite to date.



This pack will be available soon, I just want to rework the first tree. Having moved it to a different texture set for better biome placement, the tree just doesn't fit well.

Must admit I love your last screenshot. Alien trees are ... alien

Looks BEAUTIFUL

Thanks. Worked on the original tree, and have something that fits their usual biome so much better



I'm also going to investigate adjusting the shadows on the existing trees. they are quite large, dark and inconsistent in size & angle.

Can you do better graphics for tree's my mod? i don't like now

Are 5 stages:


I like your graphics, but is easier with a mod :p
i've uploaded for you, are just 9 lines, but dark-green-tree-01 is missing > copy dark-green-tree-02 here

Tree textures themselves are fine, they just need a bit of colour balancing & shadows. I'll see what I can do.

Try these. They look dark, but that's how things are in factorio.

Thanks you, is a big change for my trees, really looks different

[piratelord]

Just noticed all the trees are getting a major and impressive overhaul in version 0.12.

Needless to say I'm going to see if I can sneak my trees into this version If not, doesn't matter too much, the new trees look amazing and do have an alien feel to them.
