The _Supporters-Version_ is **a library of pre-made setups** conveniently prepared with love, to get you lovely people who support me, creating faster! ![Bushdraw_sup_ thumbs](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/4/8/3/483773af2dc3d24f7559313610994bbe86d7913f.jpeg) I can assure you, that you can do all that with the _Free-Version_, it’s **no lite-version!** You’ll only get the ‘BD\_Bush\_quality’ but no missing functionality. Having that clarified, now to the important part: This Thread is for **Feedback, Questions, Suggestions** and **reporting bug or issues** you might encounter. If good, bad or worse, doesn’t matter, don’t hesitate reach out! It helps a lot and will improve future versions. ![Append (1)](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/3/8/5/385231e1eb576b3ee3aede47d197a1994ac065c1.gif) I’ve made GIFs like this, to get you easily started directly from the Gumroad-page. but if something isn’t clear or not working, **just ask**. It should be. Furthermore i have a few **future updates/changes** in mind, i am not 100% sure about yet, and i would love to hear **your opinion!** I will elaborate on them soon, and maybe start a poll which should be implemented next. First Update will be: nesting the group, since i smooth-brain forgot about that, then I’ll be able to update all 8 pre-made setups at once instead of separately. (although there might be more specialization between bushes and hedges, in the future) This will be a good occasion to fine-tune these pre-made setups again. So, if you have any feedback about this, even if it’s just like: ‘the density is a to high/low’ or ‘the blue-side of the hue is to intense’ It will help a lot! Hope you like it! If so, please consider rating BushDraw on Gumroad. **Thank you very much** for your support and feedback! I appreciate it! PS: also works as hedge-font 😉 [https://twitter.com/Pleebs\_xyz/status/1539217742926163970](https://twitter.com/Pleebs_xyz/status/1539217742926163970) ---

Just bought BushDraw and WallDraw and had a bit of a play around with them, realy handy node groups 👍 . Do you still have a discord?, none of the links I chacked seem to work anymore … ---

Yes; i have, It has been very silent there lately though. thanks for notifying! I’ll check the links. Also it seems to me that some of the GIF’s on thee Gumroad-page ain’t work anymore. 🤔 I am planning on updating them both in the near future, to get them ready and tidy for 3.4. ---

Sorry, for the very delayed response. Got caught up by personal events. Here’s a discord-link for now (this time permanent, realized now those other links were only 7 days) > **[Join the Pleebs\_xyz Discord Server!](https://discord.com/invite/n9DXTwFbnu)** > > Check out the Pleebs\_xyz community on Discord - hang out with 6 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat. Gonna update the links on Gumroad as well asap. I am around half-way done with the update too. here’s a peek of the new preset i had in mind: Hopefully done soon, Still have to nest/rebuild but nested; the current presets. For easier updating in the future. ---

**BushDraw 1.1 -Update is finally here!** _Content and Maintenance -Update_ with all the recent improvements Blender and Geo-Nodes have had. I felt like it’s time to bring Bushdraw up to the speed of time! _(Blender 3.4 and above is required to use this Update)_ **4 New Presets!** Let you draw Hedges even quicker with just a single line! And easily edit Width and Profile-Shape procedurally! Makes a Total of 12 Presets ![Screenshot 2023-03-01 1308523](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/5/6/5/565b5c42570fad5ca21c055f01e95d987456ac9e.png) **Other Changes are:** - Shaders work now exactly the same regardless it’s realized geometry or Instanced. If you want the old ‘instanced look’ back, you can now use the new ‘Leave\_cards\_low-Hue’ ![change mats](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/f/b/0/fb00a570c47023f5aed8aeb592dc6bf2e8fc44b4.gif) - Cleaner, better, Node-trees up to date with recent GN-improvements (minor changes, less nodes, new Sample-nodes, replaced Lerp by new build in MixFloat…) - _Nesting_ of the Nodegroup to allow me updating presets all at once in the Future - AssetBrower should work now as intended Follow the Instructions under ‘Getting Started’ on Gumroad to add it to your asset browser. Hope You like it! Have a great weekend! Cheers, Pleebs
