I have been working on realistic Scots Pines for a while now, and I thought it's about time I share my progress.

Making them look good at only 1k-6k triangles has involved many steps, from creating textures to pure shader magic!

I'm really proud of my progress!

I'm really tempted to start a new game! I played it quite a bit some years ago, but always felt like something was missing. The latest updates look so good, though!
