No, there is not, yet. Penguinman was discussing making one, but foliage is actually almost as difficult as animals, believe it or not. Most (not all) of the folige the Design Team publishes is done by myself, and then coded by Penguinman. I don't know anyone else who is/has made foliage.

The DDS files look simple enough to edit, though. How hard can it be?

Yes, you can. It would be in the ai file, and would say something about "scale =1.0" (although the number might be .25 or .75) The higher the number, the larger the plant, the lower the number, the smaller the plant. Just make sure you edit the plant's shadow, too. (See, just this one simple thing, gets immediately harder than you'd think, doesn't it)? :rolleyes:

The Problem is that there are Material and BFB files that become confusing the first time around. Eventually you get used to it but I'd say foliage is harder to make than animals probally.

You'll have to join his site, ZT2DC (http://s14.invisionfree.com/ZT2_Designing_Center/). Then, in Member Downloads, you'll find his Object Creation Tutorial (OCT). BUT - it doesn't work on foliage. Sorry. : :( :

Yes, there is. When our downloads are available, you'll find a new tutorial by Nique on Foliage.
