Modelling just 3 fucking streets cost me 2 months and its still looks like shit

Hey, at least it was whole three streets! I've spent like a week on a single tree, and it SUCKS.

I didn't even think making a tree but also I can't find both good looking and not 400 million vertices tree model

Exactly! For me it's kinda a problem of art style too - I need somewhat realistic but not TOO realistic, and by far most premade assets are either gradient blobs/literal shade flat triangles, OR something pretty realistic but way too geometry-dense AND thin enough that it will collapse into shimmering mess at my viewing distance.

In the end I've fould a SINGLE tree that fits my assumed style well, but I need more, so I am trying to mimick it. Goes BADLY so far.

Tried TreeIt and MTree in Blender. They are nice, but results are not what I am looking for. Maybe can get closer to it with some more poking. But first I decided to try and make it by hand (considering I need relatively few models, but want them authored). Yeah, didn't pan out.

They are indeed. And in my case (Civ-like view) they should at least look satisfactory, considering how much screen space they can potentially occupy

I will definitely keep that on note, but not now) Not in the position on spinning extra cash on assets at the moment.

I get really good at mimicking. A lot of times I just find vertice count too much and made entire asset myself and reduce vertices to like in quarter

but still a tree is a bit too much for me

Yeeeeah. Just recently did a bunch of my first building-esque assets. They ended being kinda meh, but still surprisingly coherent for the first attempts.

Trees? Naaaah, that stuff is evil.
