Temperate forest foliage

As some of you already know, I'm working on a small foliage pack, which includes temperate forest trees and plants.

Posted Image
This is an image of the foliage I already made. I'm going to change some of them a bit though. The foliage and logs will get variants.

- Common whitebeam
- Turkish hazel
- Billberries*
- Large lady fern
- Large bamboo*
- Some logs / tree trunks

* I'm going to change the color of these plants

If you have ideas for bushes, flowers, trees, logs or whatever, please let me know!

I really like those logs, they add a touch of realism to zoos.

Well.. I always use BFB's for foliage because they look better than Nifs and they can move. That's one of the reasons I'm so limited with making foliage.

I want to make a large tree trunk thing, but I don't know how it should look like. It would be awesome if I could add leaves or something but again, I don't know how it should look like XD. Ideas?

you could ask dm he knows how to keep it moving and stuff?

and if you wanted a fallen one you could add some rocks for it to lean on?

If you have ideas for bushes, flowers, trees, logs or whatever, please let me know!

Finally, my classes this quarter (Biology and Identification of Woody Forest Plants & Forest Ecosystems) can be put to good use!

Here are some suggestions:

Trees:
Tulip (or Yellow-)Popular (Liriodendron tulipifera)
Red Oak (Quercus rubra)
Ohio Buckey (Aesculus glabra)
Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis)
Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera)
White Ash (Fraxinus americana)
Eastern Hophornbeam (Ostrya virginia)

Foliage (most of these are bushes and shrubs):
Spicebush (Lindera benzoin)
Burningbush (Euonymus alata)
Running strawberry-bush (Euonymus obovatus)
Allegheny Blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis)
Giant White Trillium (Trillium grandiflorum)

Edit: thought I should mention that the Red Oak, White Ash, and Eastern Hophornbeam all have distinctive bark, and if you can capture that in your trees, that would be greatly appreciated.

Lovely looking fern - and I am really liking that dead tree.

Now, would it be just too cool to be able to code a Leopard to climb on it..... :eyeroll:

Yeah I know! I was thinking about that! I thought about making a shelter or something like that invisible and put a log on that place in the Nif.

Excuse my ignorance Sophie, but when the coding says something like "climbs on rainforest rock", I suppose it would not be so easy to also add "climbs on dead tree"....??

No, I'm afraid that wouldn't work. But I'm not good with coding, so I will check it out tomorrow.
