trees..continued

Managed to find some nice models of trees and grass for the park. They were all in 3dsMax format. Had to open them in Max, export as fbx and then open the fbx in maya and save it back to maya format.
Some problems cropped up when exporting models from max to maya, as some of them used functions that were specific to max. So when they were imported in maya, some of the nice effects had disappeared. Had to pass on some really good models because of this problem.

Some of the textures on the trees looked a bit plain, so we might add our own textures to create a better look.

I did a small trial on the park and its looking good. :)

I might give lauren all the models so she can make the terrain and I will be working on making a nice picture of the sky at night.
