How many triangles is the beech tree?

3,884 as proposed. The complexity slider takes it down to a few hundred or up for a hero tree, and the export adds LOD1 and LOD2.

Can I change the height?

Yes, between 10 and 17 m, and the trunk's diameter, taper and lean with it.

Yes. There's no account, no watermark and no limit on downloads.

Can I use it in a commercial game?

Low poly beech tree, built to your size

A low poly beech tree made with PolyMason — 3,884 triangles at 13.5 m, as PolyMason proposes it

Build this beech

Smooth gray trunk, wide spreading crown, dense to its edge. As proposed, the beech tree is 3,884 triangles at 13.5 m, with foliage as clumps of leaves. You can take it from 10 to 17 m, and every other control stays within what a beech tree can be.

A beech forest has a bare floor. The crown is wide and dense right to its edge, so very little grows underneath, and that's convenient when you're laying out a level. The trunk is smooth and gray. Use beeches for old European forest, for the kind of forest where tall gray trunks stand like columns in a cathedral, for a wooded chalk hillside, or for a Grimm fairy tale where the path disappears.

The trunk color identifies the tree before the leaves do, so keep the smooth pale gray the builder proposes. A high bough start with a full crown gives you a forest beech. A low fork with a wide crown gives you one grown in open parkland. The clumps are dense, so in a large forest lower the complexity early and let the crown wrap at LOD2. The dead version, with its smooth gray limbs, makes a good winter tree.

What you can change

Trunk: height, diameter, taper, sides, lean, curve and gnarl, with bark from the species' colors or any color you pick.
Boughs: count, rings or spiral, where they leave the trunk, angle, length, thickness, curve, and twigs.
Foliage: style, size, spread, complexity (your triangle budget) and two greens.
Export: LOD1 and LOD2, sapling and young versions, dead, stump, felled, logs and billboards.

The export is a zip with OBJ, STL and 3MF. The OBJ uses the shared palette texture and has flat normals in the file. Models are in meters and stand at the origin, and the zip includes whichever levels of detail and other versions you select. The trees page covers the formats, and the OBJ guide covers importing.
