Hi!
This may actually never happen, but I have had this idea for a while in the back of my mind: I'd like to create a growing tree!
I think it could basically be a scripted object, that contains the growth history. For the actual model I'm thinking of using tube objects and at later stages spline meshes combined with tubes .... and probably just copied live duplicates for leafs etc ....
The actual issue here is this: As we know its is typical of trees, that every year they grow a lot of new twigs, but only a fraction of them survive to the next year or the next to that. Those that survive longest become the main limbs of it and keep repeating the process.
It should be relatively easy to create table about the growth of a new layer of twigs every year, but how to keep track of those that have stopped growing and eventually fall off?
Any ideas? Or any known solutions?
