I wanted to look at programs for doing tree proceadral genaration, i found one called onyx this one in perticular in one in a sirese of onyx programs that symphosyse the groth of plants and trees to create 3d modles. It can create a range of difrent trees including palm trees which is perfect for the type of invoroment my game will be set in.
It terns out sandbox 2 had its own easy to use procedral genaration of its own but i wanted to no how to make my own. After talking with my teacher about the different methods form making trees this is a sketch later i took this and used it as a template to recreate in 3DS Max. Over the holidays i was set the task of trying different ways to model trees and to try and create some other objects such as plants and rocks.
One way was to create the hole ting using 3d objects, again using sketches i was able to make the palm trunk and leaves. The rock was a just a sphere with noise modifiers added to distort the shape.
another method would be to have pains and a trunk shaped sphere useing an alpha layer so that when i render the finished tree the black area wont be visible leaving me with nice looking palm leaves and bump maping for the detail on the trunk.
