Here's a Simple Tree Creator Program I found on a Blitz3D forum.

Looks like it can create some great low poly trees. The only problem is that it exports to .b3d so you'll have to do some converting.

Sample Tree:

I'm gonna give it a try and see if it can make some good trees for my next game.

Interesting. The better tree (or general plant) generators that I found all cost money, and the free ones barely seemed to produce usable results.

Yeah from what I have played with it, it looks pretty good so far. ^^ I just tried some regular deciduous trees, but it doesn't work so well with things like Palm Trees. They're not that hard to model though.

EDIT: There we go a quick 10 minute Palm Tree. ^o^

A palm tree shouldn't be all that hard. You have the trunk, a couple coconuts at the branch bases, then four or five leaf clusters at the top like a star. Just treat your tree as if you're opening an umbrella :p

Exactly they're easy to model, I was just referring to the context of the tree generator. It's a shame it can only do deciduous type trees, but I suppose you can't expect everything from a free tool.

I spotted another low poly tree creator on GameDev.

This one is the Kraut Tree Editor, and it is able to do a large assortment of trees including cacti and palm trees. :D

That's quite a bit more impressive. :)

Yes, I'm definitely going to try it out once I need to add some trees to the environment I'm working on. ^^
