I took a short break from modding to deal with some RL stuff. Now I'm back at it but have a green thumb again...I will get back to the train stuff. I began work on the Eucalyptus series. Many Australian players been asking for these for some time now. My first tree in this series is a Mountain Ash aka Eucalyptus Regnans. It is among one of the tallest trees in the world. Then I have RedGum and Ghost Gum trees next along with a Tree Fern. The Eucalyptus species is very challenging to make for this game as I have to get the foliage to look fluffy with fine leaves while at the same time have the leaves hanging downward. I'm still working that out along with getting good color. Here are some WIP images of the Mountain Ash I'm currently working.

Beautiful, as usual!

[Chesh 173]

they look so great!

[Darf 1,439]

Looks lovely!

[Avanya 2,605]

Lovely with some more trees for the warmer/dryer climates! These look great and I look forward to seeing the other types 

[Mr_Maison 2,426]

Thanks everyone! I actually got them more fluffy and they are ready for prime time. But I also want to have some companions ready to go with these too like some tree ferns. Should be publishing very soon.

[Mr_Maison 2,426]

Not only did I release the Mountain Ash but also a companion, the Australian Tree Fern! Enjoy.

All we need now is some Coalas too hang in the trees.

[kingleno 197]

awesome. I thought about giving making trees a shot, but it's so not necessary for me with your great assets already.

Love your assets too!

[mutton noir 170]

Thanks once again for the awesome assets. Your work is off such a high quality and adds so much diversity to the game- greatly appreciated

[Avanya 2,605]

Uhh, those ferns will be great for creating a dense undergrowth! Love your trees - they add such beauty to the game ^^

[Feindbold 1,190]

Your green thumb is amazing as allways! All your trees combine into such a fantastic jungle:

More big trees would be great, I use your Siberian Pines a lot on winterbiomes. Any chance you could take a look on these big redwood trees in california?

Thanks. That's a beautiful shot! My greatest pleasure is seeing the creative detailing by players. I will definitely look into doing some redwoods

More Australian foliage....the River Red Gum Tree. I went "BoldlyBuilding" style on this one

It's a 3 piece set (Original large, medium and small versions). I had to go all the way up to 2048 for the texture due to the very fine leaves. I wanted an authentic look since this was one of the most requested trees from our Australian players. I wrote a full explanation in the Steam description.

I'm always a bit sad when I see amazing assets (from you and other modelers) that I won't use because I focus on european stuff but in this case I can pretend the tree is something else and actually use it, just like your live oak tree! Don't ever stop!

[Avanya 2,605]

Great work! Love the 3 versions and tris/texture should be fine as long as we don't fill the entire map with them.  And even then the LOD will be displayed for many of them, so shouldn't be an issue.

[Chesh 173]

i love these new trees! continuing on in good aussie fashion, i'd love to see some lantana and other obnoxious weeds make their way into skylines. where i'm from the stuff grows rampant! i'm sure you already have a backlog of ideas a mile long, that's no worries! i'll just leave the idea right - here.

Your suggestion was so awesome I had to do it right away. Thanks @Chesh

Here is some more underbrush flora, Lantana!  Great for deep forests, shores or for your seriously unkept areas. I plan on making versions with flowers in the near future.

Try not to let these weeds take over

 

[Judazzz 1,936]

At long last I can return to my city with a shrubbery - exactly what I needed!
Once again a fantastic asset, mate!

[Chesh 173]

 amazing! 

[gfvsims 169]

So useful! Thanks, @Mr_Maison.

[Mr_Maison 2,426]

The Cabbage Tree! I'm still learning about this species. It's great for wild landscapes and decor.

Beautiful tree as always! And damn, you keep teasing us with those reeds!  

[gfvsims 169]

I love Cabbage Trees.

[Judazzz 1,936]

Once again a fantastic tree - especially those tree-lined roads look fantastic!
Unfortunately it doesn't fit my city's theme, but I know where I'm going to shop when I decide to have a stab at creating a tropical city  

[Abrams 1,744]

Maaan,this is super awesome,i'm sure i'll find a place for it in my region even if it's temperate

[boformer 3,169]

Your trees really bring the visuals of the game to a new level!

Thank you! I use Temperate for all screenshots and test cities nowadays FYI. This tree does look good in Tropical LUT though.

Thanks! That been my mission since day one....mod, mod mod until this game is unrecognizable   Like we did for SC4

 

I will be updating the preview image to take out "Cordyline australis" from the title. Turns out the Cabbage Tree comes in many species. Someone on Steam gave me a lesson. I guess more species of this will come in the future.

[Mr_Maison 2,426]

My first palm tree...a Canary Island Date Palm! Great for decor and tropical scenes. This is a 2 piece set, one short and one tall. I'm on the hunt for palm leaf textures. To my surprise they are very hard to find. I may have to make them by hand as I do plan on making more types of Palm trees in the future. If anyone have or know where I can get some, please let me know. In the mean time, enjoy this one.
