Useful curved tree line

olishea · 9 Apr 2010, 14:45

Tree line PNGs that I projected to a curved surface. Good to fill out your model background. Renders well.

I meticulously deleted all the sky from around the tree leaves and saved in render-friendly PNG.

Cheers

SAMPLE SKETCHUP VIEW:

TEST RENDERS:

***Due to a recent episode of theft, these tree lines will now only appear in the SketchUcation shop. Somebody has decided to distribute my work on their website without permission.

While these tree lines were made as a gift to the SketchUcation community, people have taken advantage and used this product to gain more hits on their own websites. The tree lines have been downloaded tens of thousands of times.

Nobody asked me permission to distribute and host my work, I was never even credited as the author.

The person involved even made a "Part 2" to my curved tree lines, again, without permission. The "Part 2" is of inferior quality with substandard masking. I do not want to be associated with that website or the "Part 2" collection of tree lines that I did not create or condone. The "Part 2" was made to look like I had produced them, using the exact same presentation, fonts, colours etc. However, this is where the similarities end. I believe it is deceiving to the community to release this "Part 2" because of the vastly inferior quality. I do not want my reputation to be tarnished by such inadequate work.

So...

The only places where you should ever see my tree lines are in the SketchUcation shop and in the Podium Browser.
If anyone sees my work elsewhere, please notify me immediately and I will be very thankful.
If anyone would like to distribute and host my work, please just ask. It only takes a minute.

Sorry to make a post that highlights this theft problem, but I can't tolerate someone taking advantage of my good nature.

Thanks and take care,

Great background, Thanks for sharing. The png is also useful for a background layer in photoshop.

haha no worries!

Remember you can scale the curved face so it can be as curvy/flat as you want it to be!

Join the club... if I got a 'dollar' [or even a 'thank you'!] for every ruby that I wrote that's been downloaded from here...

Oh yeah... thanks - good idea

Downloaded, and I was working with your treeline in Thea. Clip map worked perfectly, and it was just what I needed for the scene.
Thanks, I really appreciate this.

Thanks for sharing this, Oli...

olishea · 14 Apr 2010, 16:25

No worries guys. Like I said, I will post some more when I have made them.

I'm glad it worked out for you Dale

Yeah, cool Dermot looking forward to it. remember you can layer these PNGs so you can have loads of other trees in front of this tree line.

It's supposed to be used to ambiguously fill out the background really.

Thanks Oli! I think I can make use of this in some upcoming projects.
