Low poly larch tree, built to your size
An open, light conifer in a soft green that goes gold before it drops. As proposed, the larch tree is 156 triangles at 15.0 m, with foliage as stacked cones. You can take it from 11 to 19 m, and every other control stays within what a larch tree can be.
Larch is a conifer that behaves like a broadleaf tree. Its cones are spaced far enough apart to let light through, and its soft green turns gold in the fall before the needles drop. That makes it useful anywhere a forest should feel open instead of dark, like an alpine meadow or the edge of a pine forest, where a few larches break up a solid wall of green. It's also the obvious conifer for a fall level.
Leave the cones spaced wide. If you pack them together you've made a pine. To get the fall look, set the second green to gold and let the shading ramp blend it in. Because the foliage is open, the boughs show more than they do on other conifers, so bough count and angle matter more here. A stand of larches with a few dead trunks mixed in suggests a high, cold place.
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.

Questions
- How many triangles is the larch tree?
- 156 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 11 and 19 m, and the trunk's diameter, taper and lean with it.
- Is it free?
- Yes. There's no account, no watermark and no limit on downloads.
- Can I use it in a commercial game?
- Everything you build here is yours. Use it in any project, commercial or not, with no attribution required.
