Woow. Fantastic work! I can't wait to see them in all their uvw-mapped glory :goodjob:
I have a humble request. Do you think it would be possible to create a fake shadow model for each tree? Basically a planar mesh with a transparant, greyscale texture on it that give the impression the tree is casting a shadow. I think that could be a cool extra
They are looking very promising.
Sorry if it's a stupid question with an obvious answer, but will they be statics like in Morrowind or will they be Oblivion-style speedtrees?
Glad to see you found a way to do this. Speed Tree didn't allow for those type of trees. Looks nice btw :goodjob:
Nice work :goodjob:
The only thing I could see that was less than great was that I think the normal map is either a bit too strong or has too high contrast. Especially
in this screenshot it looks like there isn't much variation between the average height and the deepest height of the normal map. So I think the bark might look even better if the normal map was either less strong, or smoother. (Or both.)

Good work indeed.
To me it seems like in this screenshot you pointed to the texture is vertically stretched which destroys really the texture. On some other screenshots it seems like the normal map is way too deep, while the contrast in the color map too high.
With minor tweaks those trees will be perfect :goodjob:
