Request: new tropical trees
I'm gonna redo the tropical forest as a multihex terrain like the other forests soon. However, I'm not particularly satisfied with how the current tropical trees look. They are a bit to bland and "flat" looking, and could do with more variants.
I'm kind of bogged down atm, so if anyone would have a go at this it would be great. Yobbo, you did a good job on those swamp plants, I imagine you could make something good here. Of course if anyone else is int., feel free to have a go.
Attached are the current trees used.

Edit: I only need the trees, I can make the tiles.

Thick jungles would probably just look like an unidentifiable mess I'm afraid.Neoriceisgood wrote:I just wish the tropical forest looked more "thick" than it is now; it's just so "meh"; I want thick jungles baby!
Since no one seems interested I'm just gonna convert the current ones to multihex for now.
I had added some shadows to the current trees - which might ameliorate the flat / bland feeling. But to tell the truth, the current tropical forest tiles are already one of my favorites. They were one of the ones that when I first saw them I thought "hehe, that's great".
Here are the shadows. Not that they're anything stunning . I also cut the tops of the trees off and put them on a separate layer. When multihexing them, I reckon you should merge the shadows with the tree trunks layer. So the shadows shade the trunks, but not the treetops, and it looks more... well, 3D.
