I'm not sure if they produce the UV maps you'd need for Reloaded - they may produce a texture set instead if that makes sense.

I am not sure, but that is my impression.

I have sent them an email to enquire further

It does say that they export as X file into dbpro so that's encouraging.

Yeah, but I'm not sure if DBPro has the same texture limitations as it does in the Reloaded engine. I was just concerned that there is no mention of UV mapping at all (that I could find). I have a feeling I may have emailed them before about this a long while back, but that could have been a different Tree software.

Not sure about that, but I thought Lee said that reloaded used the DBPro engine. I think I'll give it a try at some point. Looks promising. Especially since I lost my installations for TreeMagik and Plant Life. Losing those installs wouldn't be a problem if I bought them from TGC, but I got them long before the app was offered on TGC.

Reloaded is built on DBPro, I think TGC created Dark Basic.

However I have downloaded Forester and can confirm it doesn't create a single UV mapped texture, and therefore won't make Reloaded compatible trees unless at some point Reloaded adds multi-texture support for entities.

Well, although it isn't ideal for using multi-textured entities, it is possible. You just need to leave the textured field blank and it'll load all textures from the x file. It does not use normal or specular maps though in this case, but it works. I've been doing it a lot. However, I plan to use Blender and Texture Paint Plus to consolidate textures eventually.

Oh ok, I haven't been able to get that to work reliably, maybe there was something else I'm doing wrong. Seemed to randomly work, or not.

I think the Rock Program may work though as I believe that does UV map, not sure about to test it now.

If you going to use forester or treemagic and use multiple textures you have to take the textures and convert them to .dds format. then you import your x file into milk shape(or what ever program you use) then change the trunk and leaves jpg textures to the dds ones so that it's compatible with reloaded. Then, you export the file from there. This way, when you leave the texture line blank it knows to look for the dds images.
