Everything is tucked in greenery....very organic look. :)

It looks simply beautiful... The suspension of disbelief is real :)

This improves the look of DF dramatically over vanilla and even more over classic.

This is quickly becoming a must-have mod!

Are you making any head-way on performance optimization?

Ive made all the necessary optimizations as I was working along (poly count/texture size/LODs). Ive made about 95% of the items from the temperate set and when I test it, its working buttery smooth on that terrain distance 1 setting. (I have 1050GTX).

Now, Ive talked with TheLacus and he thinks that, for now, everything beyond that setting is causing issues, probably because the DFU billboard shader is crazy efficient (not as much SPTree one). For the first edition I'll have to recommend the terrain setting of 1. But that 1 is buttery smooth at least. The whole MOD file for now is about 50Mb's. :P

Do you think it will eventually be possible to run this smoothly on higher terrain distance settings? That would be truly epic. Either way, these screens are amazing.

Does the SpeedTree asset give you much control over the LOD's? Could you possible replace the highest LOD with the original tree sprites with the DFU billboard shader? Your trees so closely resemble their vanilla ancestors that I doubt it would even be very noticeable.

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure you'll be able to override the LODs since SpeedTree uses a special shader to blend between the LODs. But maybe it's worth a shot?
