An essential element of scenery for fantasy tabletop adventuring games is trees. If you imagine traveling through the woods, you imagine a densely forested area with many trees covering the landscape. Other than the visible path ahead or behind, trees block the line-of-sight in all other directions.
Achieving the feel of a dense forest in a tabletop gaming scenario is typically difficult for several reasons:
- Miniature trees typically block your view of your characters
- Miniature trees get in the way of being able to move your characters
- Miniature trees are not usually very realistic
- Realistic tree models are a lot of work to make
- Realistic tree models are often fragile
- Realistic tree models take up a lot of storage space in order to prevent them from being broken
The Solution?
3D-printable scans from real world trees!
STL 4: “Old Maple”
STL 6: “Gnarly Oak”
We created 3D printable tree models by 3D-scanning the geometry from real-world tree trunks. By design, our models do not have the leafy parts of the trees so you can see your character models even if they are right next to a tree. Since the models lack the fragile leaf-parts of typical model trees, they can be conveniently stored together in a bin or drawer. The geometry is so tree-like, we’ve found that we get a very convincing representation of a tree without needing the leaves.
With just a few of these realistic tree models, you can make an entire forest by printing the trees at different scales and scattering them randomly around the landscape.
The same tree model printed at 100% XY-scale on the left and 150% Scale on the right. Bigfoot for scale.
Easy to print
These models were designed to print easily, and many of them support free, on FDM-style printers. As with all of our files, we test-printed every one of them!
