What are good ways to produce nice looking trees that are not too big?Īs you can see from the screenshot, 350,000 vertices means I can't add too many trees to my landscape. How can I reduce my Mtree/geometry node tree to a more reasonable size? I am trying to build my own assets and/or use free ones - I would love advice on how to create moderately sized assets or where to find decent ones. I see all these various landscape tutorials where people scatter a lot of good looking plant assets around, but often 'purchased' assets.

If I 'apply' the geometry node modifier my leaves disappear. I decimated my tree to reduce the poly count but the object remains very heavy due to the leaf size/distribution. I used MTree 4.0.2 to generate a tree and applied heavy leaf distribution of very small size, which is a geometry node setup. I am working on a landscape scene and want some moderate poly spruce trees that look good in cycles.
