🌳 Trees & Bushes Pack — Now Fully Optimized for Performance

I'm officially relaunching the Trees & Bushes Pack, now reworked with a clear goal: maximize performance without compromising visual quality.

This isn't just a cleanup — I’ve gone deep into the technical side of things to make this asset pack even more reliable for VR, mobile, and performance-critical projects.

🔧 What’s New

🧼 Clean Geometry, Optimized Topology

• All 200 models were reviewed and optimized by hand.

• Removed unnecessary geometry and improved topological flow.

• Everything is cleanly named and neatly organized into collections inside the .blend file.

🖼️ Rebuilt 4K PBR Texture Atlas

• Completely new PBR texture atlas at 4096x4096 resolution.

• Includes:

  • Base color

  • Normal map

  • Alpha channel

  • Translucency color

  • Translucency level

• Available in .png and .xcf (fully editable in GIMP/Krita).

💡 Custom Shader Included

• The pack now includes a GLSL shader for Godot (adaptable to other engines).

• Implements real translucency — perfect for semi-transparent foliage, backlighting, and more.

📦 File Formats

Exported in all major formats:
.blend, .fbx, .glb, .ply, .obj, .x3d, .3ds, .stl

Tested and compatible with Godot, Unity, Unreal Engine, and others.

🎯 Lightweight, Realistic, Game-Ready

Even with realistic shapes and detail, models remain lightweight:

• Average per mesh: ~193 vertices / ~106 faces

• Heaviest model: 2,355 verts

• Lightest: 4 verts

This makes it perfect for dense forests, mobile games, or scenes where you need a lot of variation with minimal overhead.

📌 What’s Coming Next

In the next few days I’ll publish a before-and-after devlog showing visual comparisons and wireframes, so you can see how far this pack has come. I'm also preparing a small demo scene showcasing the updated assets with real lighting and post-processing.

👉 If you already own the pack, this is a free update.
👉 If you're discovering it now, the suggested price is $8–12 USD.

Thanks for your support — and for making beautiful, efficient worlds with my work. 🌱
