   Looks great. Tree Lod in this game looks absolutely horrible.

   It's a WIP, so this is a constructive comment. The "after" looks totally fake. It looks like a deciduous tree does in autumn/winter. No healthy tree looks like that from a distance when the leaves are in full bloom. I'm sorry to say it, but the "before" is more believable. But keep at it.

      Yeah, but there before looks like a paper cut out no matter how you see it. It’s too chunky and it all blends together like it’s a cardboard cut out. Even the full loaded model has those gaps and areas of lack of coverage from where the light shines through as seen in the after image.
      
      I’m gonna go to the technical side of why the modded tree looks like that it’s because the gaps and areas of less coverage have to be exaggerated because the game lacks any kind of transparency AA. That’s the biggest problem and why the foliage in the game is straight up ugly. I would like to add a gradual change from more dense and healthy looking to less dense with noticeable breakup in the amount of foliage but that graduation isn’t possible as the game engine doesn’t and can’t handle transparency intensity, only basic transparency. It still is a WIP and I know it can be improved. Just adding a simple texture mod to this game is a chore because of how tedious modding it is.

   I think that's really freaking amazing!!!!!! Everybody has a right to their own opinion, just in my opinion, it's a huge enhancement! Not to mention that's my most hated tree in the game, the vanilla billboard always looked like a piece of paper no matter how high you cranked the settings. Please release it soon!!!! I love you!

      I know, that is my most hated tree in the game too. It literally looks like a paper cut out. Also, it’s compounded by the fact that there are so many trees in the Witcher 3 and the fact that the game lacks any kind of alpha to coverage or transparency anti-aliasing.
      
      Also, this comment coming from one of the most respected modders out there is a huge boon. Love your work
      
      I’m gonna see to the other trees and a release is planned but there is a still a ways to go. Hopefully soon though.
