GLS TReal help on Tracing a Tree (leaf or fruit) for input parameters. Menu commands are the same as the Radio Button boxes. The Tree Command box is on the T2 page while the Fruit and Leaf have no bananas, so the use of Menu commands is required. Save the Shape as a Tree .tsf, Leaf .lsf, or Fruit .fsf when finished. The selection of the Leaf or Fruit image as the Texture must be done on the Leaf .. Fruit page. Save the data as a Tree Definition file .tdf when finished.
- Trace Commands.
- (T) Tracer Active: Start point selection (for selected Tree level or Leaf or Fruit)
- (F) Tracer Finished: Stop point selection (for selected Tree level or Leaf or Fruit)
- (C) Clear: remove all lines from image
- (R) Redraw: Points on image
- (D) Draw All (Tree): All Tree levels
- Image of a Tree is traced to derive input to the Tree
- Prepare the photograph if necessary by rotating, resizing (power of 2 : (512x512 Square for Leaves, any power of two combination for Fruit {64,128,256,512})), tree images often have the base or top obscured... resize so blank area extends for that area and then 'clone' the tree to fill the missing portion.. so the lines can be drawn, eliminating the background... black-transparent background so when used as the Texture the area outside the tree (leaf, fruit) will Not show, and formating (tga). Really only for Leaf and Fruit Textures... better to create a tree and save as an image to use in forests of trees.
- (B) Black Base: Mouse click points from the Left Base of the tree to the left (clockwise), clicking the upper flare, lowest branch, topleft, top right, and down, until the right base point is reached... there is a Stop Tracing selection on the Menu .. to create a closed polygon tree shape.
