That is a very nice looking area MR. Again, for me the choice and scaleing of placeables makes the woodland look varied and natural.

I have been playing with the spooky trees for roots and have come up with this. I am pleased enough and will use this area/idea for the next mod.

I have used Bradford Pear and honey locust for this wood. I like these because they have lots of low hanging branches which help to clutter the floor of the wood and foil the line of sight. Bushes are courtesy of king boxwood.

Looks good. King boxwood is among my favorite bushes. The roots look good and very good boulder placement.

Boxwood is the comic sans of NWN2 trees.

Hey Matt,
I didn’t read all the post above but I have been doing forest for the last year and half so let me tell you what I have learned.

1. I have found that walk-mesh cutters are not that big of deal. This can be done real fast if you just make yourself a pallet of about three walk-mesh cutter squares, small med and large respectfully. Small squares for small trees and so on. Click on the cutter square you want and then just copy/past your walk-mesh square. Now you have a stamp for cutting out trees. I can do about hundred trees in just a couple of minutes this way.

2. A trick for density is the ‘Leaf Canopy 02’ placeable. This is nothing more than a wall of vegetation great for that last outer ring of trees around your forested area. Gives the forest that dark impassable look.

3. As far as fade goes I would only turn off the fade on your largest trees. This can give the area a forest feel without interrupting game play.

4. Don’t be afraid to paint down a few crude paths. Remember animals make trails as well as human races.

That’s all I have off the top of my head. Good luck and BTW really jealous of your screen shots. :)

Hey, thanks Alupinu. Those are really good suggestions. I'm going to check out that placeable to make things more dense. Getting the forest borders dense is always a challenge.
