Thanks Marc, will look great on my new route. Just started fooling around with trees on it too.

Hi Bob,

I think the pack turned out nicely. I tried a few of the new pines on Donner and they made a world of difference!

BTW, after viewing the screens of the forest, I did a few tweaks to remove the bluish look on some of the conifers. I'll double check the rest of the files before posting an update, which I hope to have ready over the weekend.

Good stuff, always good to get some new scenery.

Are any viewer facing items done as viewer-facing, and not viewer-facing-upright like the rural ones? the latter look distinctly odd now cabs and viewers sway around at angles...

[Bananarama]

Since these are all trees, they are set to view upright, as view-facing would odd, no?

I find view-facing pretty odd - upright or not - but beyond knocking the poly budget for a scene through the roof, little we can do about that. I tried making some cruciform trees for longer views and they're awful, and RW4 seems to be fixing my biggest issue with the lighting of them.

I am trying to work out why some trees - noticeably the ones on Bay of Quinte where I've made the track as run down and wobbly as it will go - are leaning with cab movement which tilts the camera ( and redefines "up" ). All I can think of is they're using "Upright View Facing" ( that's what Max calls it ) as a material option. I *think* they're yours, if they're not then I apologise; I'd like a few ideas though because I'm hopeless at scenery and not really familiar with those options. Well I know what Viewer Facing is supposed to do, at least. I'll try and knock up a video when I get a free moment.
