Just another amazing program I like to share. ;o))

Maybe you'll be as amazed as I am. I think it rocks big time!



nb: I know Torolf will love it.









take care

Oooooh! Nice!

Looks like L-systems.
One thing about L-systems, is that I don't think you can actually do a realistic tree with them, because you don't get smooth transitions between branches.
I think some kind of volumetric (voxel) approach, maybe with marching cubes would work for that.

i've done both approaches, and voxels actually suck more than L-systems because of the recursive splitting / resolution problem (also, it's not like using voxels magically gives you smooth blending, it's still difficult to do well ).

Well, it may be difficult to do smooth transitions, but at least it's possible. And hey, it's the technique nature uses! (if you consider cells as voxels )

Looks pretty neat, but it looks like you need to know how to code, and coding is greek to me. I wish more programs would use nodes to represent complex coding.. Terragen 2 is a good example of this.

Nice program! Thanks for sharing

Nice hstokholm !

Well, one could build curves from L-system I suppose, the point being then to have a curve-based pipe primitive (with radius mapped along U or something more procedural).

I'm burning with that request (curve -> pipe primitive) for a moment in fact, should I add it to the list Ono ?
