Release 3.0 - Soon

Addon entirely rewritten. The Workflow is different, the trees are entirely generated in the node editor, and the nodes can be stacked to have much more control.

  • (100%) Draw trunk, and branches with grease pencil

  • (100%) The "modules" are now generated with a square base that can be subdivided according to the branch radius

  • (100%) Trunk node: generate basic trunk

  • (100%) Grease pencil node: generate trunk and branches following the gp strokes

  • (100%) Split node: add forks on branches, that can be grown.

  • (100%) Grow node: make branches grow for a number of iterations, or until a certain radius is reached

  • (100%) The grow node comes with pruning, which allows to reduce the density of branches, and parameters to adjust the shape of the tree

  • (100%) Armature: An armature can be generated to animate the tree

  • (100%) Fast wind: Fast method that uses curves modifiers to simulate wind

  • (100%) Physical wind: physical simulation of wind

  • (100%) Preview mode: build the tree with curves, which can allow real time tweaking

  • (100%) Final mode: build tree with geometry, the tree is subdivided according to each branch's radius

  • (100%) particle system emitter generation: Same as before, an emitter is created for believable leaves placement

  • (100%) twig creation: node (or operator ?) for twig and leaves creation, that can be used in the tree particle system

  • (100%) material: updating the material system of the previous versions with procedural bark materials

  • (100%) color ramp sampler: operator to add colors to a color ramp node the same way substance designer does it

  • Fast: The tree generation is now more than 10x faster !
