Fast distant trees

[ecco]

I'm modeling the Horseshoe Curve. I need a lot a fast distant trees (either objects or even paints). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

fast

As most trees have the habit to stand very motionless, could you please explain what you mean with "fast"?
Maybe a translation thing; it might just be a type of tree I have never heard about.

Probably the Fast series similar to those by Bobbet KUID group 74247. Some examples are builtin to TANE.
These are neither masked nor blended but use a technique called alpha-testing so render faster and no sorting problems.
I was about to seek info as one particular group Tree Fast Spruce Group 14 (kuid2:74247:200013:2) look like ghost trees in TANE but appear OK in preview and PEV's mesh Viewer.

Who knew there was speeding Trees, thanks for the good info, I have an Alps area I would like to try these in?

I downloaded these and also their MAPLE counterparts. As happens from time to time your comment led to do further investigation. In addition to 'objects' I was also looking for textures that would suffice for distant hills. Turns out, I had textures called 'forest'. These worked out great. I never knew I had them because I was looking for trees. I guess it was a matter of not seeing the forest for the trees.

Thanks again.

Dmdrake has a large number of forest-relayed testures you might find useful.
