I'd like to make some new trees but have found that when I change the truck & leaves UV size or even just move them about on the map the trees float in the game. I know from making the bird feeder trees that the problem is the bones and or weights. I had help with that project or I would never have finished it, as I know nothing about either. But what I'm looking for is a tut or work around so I can make new trees that don't float. I was going to try to un- link the leaves then append them again (I did something similar with the bird feeder tree) I just haven't got back to it to try. Am I missing a tut that covers this and if not any advice would be brilliant. Thanks  |

hi! All trees in game "float" like that to resemble wind blowing... i think it's on their tuning. So if you don't want that.. then you can clone any floor plant instead ? And maybe add some outdoor / plant tags.

No I mean float off the ground lol The whole tree lifts as I enter the lot and sways like the leaves do. I need to learn how to re tune(?) them so just the leaves move and the trunk stays on the floor. I have made a still tree but I couldn't help thinking it would so much better if those leaves moved like the others.

Try to Check on the Vertex Group Names and the Weight Paint....A Cap i was working on, Floated because i had to run the File in the Game and then RE-OPEN the File to REPAINT the Weight. I don't know why it was doing this but it seems 2-Times is a Trick to get things to work...Crazy! ha!  |

Thanks Steve I had to do something similar with the bird feeder. I have no clue about weight paint but I'm willing to give it a try and learn something new |

Brujah and OM posted about Transferring Weights and the Vertex Groups, i kind of Combigned what they Posted and do my own Ritual with it. I have noticed that 2-Times is a Charm, for some reason. I Place my File in the Game - Run the Game - Check the File on a Lot - Delete the Object, or Cas Object without Saving. Then, i reopen the File straight from the Mods Folder and Check the Weight Paint again. If you need any Help, let me know  P.S. - Really Sorry about the England Terror poo...Hope All is Good! |

I really must stop making stuff and learn about weights and vertex groups, I will look at those threads when I'm more awake. Thanks for the offer I may well be back and take you up on it. As for the terror stuff here I haven't seen the news, so I have no clue what has been happening. I lead a very quiet and solitary life so unless I have visitors the outside world is another planet most of the time. I know today is election day and from what I do know its all bad, Friday is going to suck. Thanks for thinking of us |

I often use trees to clone for non-tree items and I have to keep them indoors so that they don't animate |

I used the lollipop tree, it shows the animation in S4S but it never moves in game even if you have seasons.  |

Ok so some of us weren't in the initial project and well ... could we get more info on how to make the animation for the trees ?
No I won't use the "lollipop tree" ( it isn't a tree, it's a bush/plant ), because I need to FIX trees that are floating around like gravity isn't a law of physic.
From what I gathered, I need to vertex paint ? Put all tutorials are for CAS objects and thus I don't understand a thing.
Some help would really be appreciated.
