Rendering tips 

RpTreeMaker tree set as a picture in SketchUp and rendered with IRender. Note the nature of the fractal rendering and the nuance of the shadows. Clients of rendering items other than IRender nXt have found that they have to detonate the tree segment, detonate the picture element into a face, and change to tree part so as to get the tree to render appropriately. 

For IRender clients, the RpTreeMaker tree will consequently re-render as a full, fractal, 3D tree. IRender clients should make their tree pictures at the least goal to spare time and keep the SketchUp model quick and little. After the tree is re-rendered the first picture goal won't impact the last picture. 

Settings 

There is a Settings menu which allows you to set the following: 

  • Foundation mode while rendering (this had nothing to do with the last picture, yet the HDRi setting gives you some feeling of how the HDRi light functions - If you turn it on you will see that the tree is lit up in a woods with the sun sparkling from behind on the left). 
  • Default Illumination of the picture. - (Smaller numbers make the picture more splendid) 
  • HDRi sky pivot for light. (55 degrees leaves the tree half in light and half in shadow) 

Notes 

  • The Tree Editor permits you to browse four kinds of trees (all the more just around the corner.) 
  • .ArPlant documents can be spared and stacked in the supervisor. 
  • .ArPlant documents can be stacked into SketchUp for rendering. 
  • A few Limitations on Trees (still various) 
  • Bushes might be hard to do in the current interface 
  • We don't have layouts for things like Herbaceous Plants yet. 
  • You can't transform anything about the trees right now. 

Frequently Asked Questions 

Would you be able to change shading? Provided that this is true, how? This would be significant. 

To change shading, you can take the raster pictures for the leaves or bark, change the shading, and spare them with another name. These are put away in generally: 

C:\Program Files\Render Plus Systems\RpTreeMaker\Support\Plants 

in a Bark and a Leaves subfolder. 

For example, we took the standard leaf, made it yellow, spared it as another leaf, and utilized it to render the tree. You can make your own bark and leaf pictures by changing the shade of existing pictures. You will require a paint program which regards the Alpha Channel. (We don't have one, however there is an instrument in RpTools which will change over the foundation shade of a picture to an alpha channel which I utilized.) 

Would you be able to utilize this to make a 3D tree? 

The system is still in the works. This will be done when it will be done, as they say. So far, yes, it should work - but these high-poly medals will eat your ram and graphics card like hell, so you should do this on your own responsibility.
