Hello everyone, I'd like to get your opinion on some trees i've rendered. The goal was to make a tree grow, given it's own dna. So these trees are procedurally 'grown' from seeds. Please tell me what you think, and what it might be missing. Thanx a lot for all your help anyway. Thank god for Gamedev :) ScreenShots (the above 3 pictures)

They look pretty good for trees, the only thing I noticed is that some parts seem to have the curly Cheeto effect going on. Other than that, very well done!

thanx, the 'curly cheeto' effect is just a parameter. I thought it was cool, but it I guess it may seem weird.... :) It does allow for 'ghost trees' and such :)
alpha ordering???
What do you mean exactly. I draw the board using ALPHA_TEST, and i think rendering back to front is out of the question, since you're never sure whats front to back.
The pine trees in the other pictures are crap though, just something old.
But maybe something with antialiasing???
