  Installation

  Custom Tree Mods Installation Instructions

  • []Install the main file.[/]

    []If using DynDOLOD v2, install the appropriate billboards for whichever tree mods you are using in your preferred overwrite order.

    If using DynDOLOD v3, billboards are not necessary since they are created by the newer process.[/]

    []Generate tree LODs using DynDOLOD (3D Trees are supported).[/]

    []Install the output from generation as new mod in your mod manager mod.[/]

    Explanation: Billboards are two dimensional images of trees. When you generate tree LOD, two things occur. One, the billboards are compiled into a tree LOD atlas, which is a single texture that contains all the tree LOD textures (this is great for performance). Two, it generates a series of files that informs the game where to express tree LODs (e.g., all over Whiterun Tundra), the size of each tree in game, and the position of a particular tree LOD image on the atlas texture.
