A little criticism.

[NamelessHero]

So I have just seen the new interview video and some of the new screenshots and there is something that kind of bugs me. I am speaking about the new trees! Now I don't think that they are bad but whenever I look at them, I get the impression that the canopy is made out of cardboard and sometimes has odd angles, it looks a bit unnatural. Now of course "a bit" implies it is a minor criticism but what happens when you have lots of trees? It becomes a little distracting I think, they kind of remind me of the vanilla wow trees when on a flying mount.
Here's an example pf where it looks natural without the "cardboard effect"

You can see what I mean in these pictures:

and especially this one:

The other models though are really impressive, especially that new mansion in the new batch of screenshots!

Hey there,

So you're talking about the trees? They're still WIP, don't worry about it - We finally found a way to properly modify them.

Wow, that's great, I can't wait to see then in screenshots! If you need even more tree models (and various other plants), here is an interesting site I've just found http://xfrog.com/ and http://xfrog.com/130-free-xfrogplants-now-available/

Thats an interesting site indeed, I'm just unsure whether they'll work with Skyrim's tree system. There are plenty of great, free ressources on the net, however most of these trees are static.

Do you refer to the resources on the net or the links NamelessHero posted?

The latter.
