With this handy tool, you can generate hundreds of different low poly trees! There are over 20 settings in the generator to create your own low poly tree! "Tree Generator by Wiskered" makes it easier and faster to create games, 3D scenes and more, where low poly graphics are used. Do not limit yourself in creating unique natural areas, forests, jungles, etc. Use "Tree Generator by Wiskered"! wiskered.itch.io/tree-generator-by-wiskered twitter.com/wiskered/status/1356958916832288768
FYI if you want this to work in Unity, you may need to make the image size 8x8 and color in the top half green and bottom half brown. I started with just 4x4 and 2 pixels of color, but Unity sampled the green pixel twice, making the entire tree green. Best I can tell Unity just loves to render the texture inaccurately. It's like some form of compression that is always on despite tweaking settings. 8x8 fixed it for me.
I was looking for the fastest way to create a lot of assets for low poly, This guy help so much! I just didnt set subdivide and basicaly went with the cube skin result for trunks
This is such a good tutorial holy damn, This is exactly what i needed. Thanks so much, you somehow did better than the random indian dude creating tutorials for everything.
I used to make trees with similar steps in older versions of Blender, but with 2.8 I feel so lost... Getting my footing quickly though. But yes, this tutorial is great! Thank you!! I'm going to make gobs of forests now. :D
why add a plane and delete 3 out of the 4 verts, whilst you can just add one single vert instead and save on the extra work? granted it would only lessen the time by a second or 2 but still. other then that quite informational

@@SuperIceteapeach I got it. Maybe you too, but i'll write here. In this small window in right bottom you have the "View" option. Click on "Tool Settings" in here and now u have it.
Why my brush doesn't paint only 1 pixel? I tried everything, the Radius is one but still paints more pixels, also the strength is at max Can you help me?
To apply Rotation, Scale and Location you do CTRL+A in object mode. To clear them, you do ALT+R ALT+S and ALT+G. :) Hope this helps! Very useful when working on larger scenes, or if you're duplicating objects a lot, or getting into animation. Can be very useful to reset bone origins. :) Good luck and have fun!
Michał Bednarski to be honest I’m not quite sure but since we are not actually changing the scale of a vertice using a wouldnt make sense. Control A changes the radius of the vertices.
As soon as i joined both the meshes of trunk and leaves, my blender too stopped responding.... and i also got that artifact like leaves, later i figured that it was because we didnt apply thatskin modifier before joining meshes :)
Hey Man..... I am facing a problem in blender when I am making the low poly tree that you showed in the video. The Problem Is When I add the subdivision modifier it is not forming the same shape that you Have shown in the video. maybe is it due to the version because I am using 2.9 or the settings. Please reply , i really need your help
Well without knowing what the problem looks like it’s hard to say why you’re having a problem. Make sure to carefully follow as the version shouldn’t affect the tutorial.
why did you need to make a plane so you can delete it and make it a cube? couldnt you just make a cube? just asking i aint really good in blender and im trying to learn
this late reply if ur still stuck but im like 100% sure u spawned the ico sphere in w/ the actual model which had skin modifier and skin modifier makes the verticies into little cubes i think so click tab and shft add ico sphere than u got a ico sphere
For some reason when I create the ico sphere it becomes the same we the tree (so if I delete it I delete the tree too) and only the vertices are visible, can anyone help Edit: I just managed to fix it I just had to leave edit mode
Mxby I try to call out the hotkeys but these tutorials do assume some knowledge of blender, if you have no idea what I’m doing then probably go watch blender gurus beginner series and get familiar with the hotkeys and then come back and you’ll know how to do what I do.
Winglett Entertainment Oh okay thanks for the help!! i’ll come back when i’m done. I’m really trying hard to learn this stuff because i do graphic art and design for a roblox game and kinda need to know how to use this. Ty
Winglett Entertainment Thanks! I just started designing a new thing (you can see our game in the unreleased version Pet Land Lite!! ;> thank you for all your help :)
When I add the Ico Sphere it doesnt let me touch/move the tree and the ico sphere lags really bad, I know its not a problem with my comuter since ive run alot more complicated stuff then it
Why would you "complicate" with this 3x3 image material instead of just assigning each part of a tree it's own material ? Is it performant or something ?
You might've fixed it by now but just in case, save the file by going to file (top left) and clicking save or preferably, save as, so you know which file to open. Next, after saving, go to open (also top left) and opening what you named the file. So just a process of re-opening. If it doesn't work or you've moved on/fixed it, inform me.

When I export the tree as an FBX file and try to import it into Unity it's just plain white and one leaf pile only seems to be visible from the inside. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
yoooohnye you have you normals flipped and no texture applied. In blender go into edit mode, select all, go to mesh and then normals and recalculate outside. Then in unity add you model to the scene, then create a new material, add the texture to base and also change the texture filtering to point. Just google anything and you should find and answer if you’re still lost.
Newbie here. I've been learning Blender for less than a week now. I'm struggling really hard with adding a texture/image/paint/something to the trunk/branches. My first attempt, I followed this video perfectly. But for some reason, I couldn't get my color picks onto the black pallete, and thus, couldn't save it to use. I also don't have an "apply" option under the skins modifier to continue following the video. I've been working on this particular problem for two days, even started over with a second tree from scratch, following the video again. I must have missed something. Does anybody have links or recommendations for specific tutorials for this? I can't find much myself.
You’re probably struggling because you’re using a newer version of blender, to apply a modifier now, just click the little dropdown arrow on the modifier and apply is there. If you’re struggling with textures then maybe try using materials in blender for colours, there should be plenty of videos to help. If you’re struggling to find answers to specific problems then try searching for tutorials that cover the overall topic you’re stuck on and you’ll probably find they help you solve your specific problem too.
@@WinglettEntertainment Thanks for responding :) I actually uncovered the "apply" option myself earlier today--I couldn't remember which tutorial I'd commented about that on. I'll try what you suggested.
Make sure you’re in edit mode, otherwise you won’t be able to extrude branches. Just try again and if you are still stuck maybe google how to use the skin modifier.
Select the vertices at the end of the branch (tab to go into edit mode then C for circle select) then press g to move the end of the branch and change its shape
It would be helpful if you can show us the buttons you pressed on

X = Delete
A is select all, shift + a is add a new mesh if that’s what you mean
thank you for the help i was so confused
Thank you for this amazing tutorial, every time i look up something, even if it's as basic as making a tree, i learn a bunch of new tricks!
the fact that you made me press ctrl + j basically made me do everything again.
I just can't believe it, like, most TH-camrs use the noob method which is extruding faces, but this way... it should take a medal of proness

Little late in finding this channel. I have tried this and results are good. Liked and subscribed. Thank you for these videos.🙏.
Whenever I put the Subdivision Surface modifier, it doesn't seem to have that flat bit up the top, It just turns into a sphere.
i think u must click simple i think
samebut it still works the same

Can you help me?
How did you fix the issue with the leafs at 10:44? I've been trying to find a fix but cannot.
You need to "apply " first before to create a group
To apply Rotation, Scale and Location you do CTRL+A in object mode. To clear them, you do ALT+R ALT+S and ALT+G. :) Hope this helps! Very useful when working on larger scenes, or if you're duplicating objects a lot, or getting into animation. Can be very useful to reset bone origins. :)
Good luck and have fun!
You make trees way easier than other tutorials, thank you!
Or the classic where they say "Ok so now just... sculpt the gun"
I wasn't able to apply the subdivision surface the way you did it. Is there any way you can explain an alternative?
Strange, are you able to explain what went wrong in more detail?
If you get a ball, you just have to extrude it up and it will form a cylinder, if that happens ur good
i didn't know you can scale the vertices, look like I'm gonna do it over again.
Thank you for this video,it was amazing
How do I move that tiny dot on the color at 9:31
guys what keys do I need to use to select the body of the tree after joining them all together in 11:02
L
2:56 What does ctrl A do? why cant we scale with S?
Michał Bednarski to be honest I’m not quite sure but since we are not actually changing the scale of a vertice using a wouldnt make sense. Control A changes the radius of the vertices.
control a doesn't work for me
5:21? How to select by pressing (one sphere) all faces and etc.?
...By pressing L....

Its a good tutorial but in 11:00 you conect the tree to the leafs and on 11:10 you select only the tree but how? I can’t do that bc i conected them
For some reason the color didn't transfer to the trunk of the tree, only the leaves changed. Can someone explain?
please help when i spawn an ICO Sphere it looks nothing like urs , it looks like little blocks forming a sphere and its hella laggy

Yeah mine too its just that the ico sphere also had the modifier
Go to object mode then hit apply on the modifiers then add the ico sphere
