Hi there.
ok.
I would like to make a tree but I don't know how, well I have and idea but need support.

First. I think I need a sprite editor to make the sprite but I don't know one.
Second. Make an object plain and texturize it with the tree sprite and hide the plain or put ghost object on it.

Is this right?
Could you tell me one sprite editor?

For your support thank you.

You are the Chrono Trigger !!!!!!!!!!

Any art package or photo image editor can usually draw sprites. Windows has a program called Paint hidden in the accessories, you can use that. Or you can can find Gimp. Or you can spend money on good art package. You don't need to hide the plain, or ghost the plain. Just texture the plain.

Check this thread for image making program linkshttp://developer.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=29771&b=4

Anyway, my addage is "if you cant draw it, sample it!"
Im going to make some tree graphics and I find it really difficult to draw realistic branches, so I looked for reference on Google. I found the best source was pictures of bonzai trees, so maybe use some photos of the japanese tree in a pot, they look really stylised. Remember as well, any part of the image you want to be transparent set the coulour of that pixel to 0,0,0 RGB!

Good luck!

GIve me more power!
