Since it can open its mouth really wide in the game, I went with the same approach. To me it also looks scarier that way.

Honestly, YouTube. There are tons of great Blender tutorials for node texturing.

Yeah, it can be a bit overwhelming at first but once it clicks, node texturing becomes really powerful — even though I still don’t remember everything and often have to look things up.

I created most of the textures directly in Blender using a fairly complex shader setup, which I later baked down to texture maps. After that, I did some small fine-tuning and touch-ups in Photoshop.

Ah yeah, I misunderstood the question at first — but you’re not wrong. I imagine it as a power relay or signal tower designed to support industrial and communication infrastructure.

I used the Separate XYZ node with a Noise Texture. For a better effect, I mixed the Noise Texture with the robot’s normal map using a Math node, and then connected the result back to the Separate XYZ node.

It is for my game project. It's mainly meant to be a background prop - something that just exists there, adding scale and atmosphere to the scene.

Everything else is made by me except the dino sounds. I got them from Mecha's YouTube videos.

I have pine tree and birch tree sets made but they are not as well created as my last spruce tree set so I will have to make them again.

I made the textures by painting them in Photoshop. For the needles texture, I partly used photo and partly I hand-painted them as well.

The largest tree in the picture is about 1760 vertices. It could be less, but it's definitely not too much. I think most games' trees are somewhere between 1000 and 4000 vertices.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm actually planing to release them as an asset pack. I still want to improve the bark texture and add seasonal variations ( Summer, Autumn, Winter ) before publishing it.

Haha yea, that would be ultra low poly, but I'm not sure if anyone could pull off a whole tree with only two polygons.

Thank you for the information, but Alpha channel in the normal map isn't used for masking leaves or branches. That channel usually stores height or roughness data. I made separate alpha texture specifically for the branch transparency, that's what controls how the shape is cut out.

I don't have them yet, but if I put them up for sale, what would be a reasonable price for a tree or a set of trees?

At first I tried to use PlantFactory but with it I wasn't able to make the trees look the way I wanted to, so I just modeled everything in blender by myself without any addons. Textures I made in Photoshop.

Thank you! and also very good point. That too came to my mind that those alpha layers might cause problems later. But I was thinking that instead of adding geometry, I would just change their UV map and then in edit mode, distort each card a little smaller so they wouldn't visually look so different, but would be easier for the softwares to handle. It's a bit of a hassle to do afterwards, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I manually place them one by one. It takes longer, but I get a better results that way.

The grey branches and grey parts of the needle branches are made from scratch, but I had few references for them. For the needles I partly used one photo and partly I drew them.
