Modular Tree

looking promising is, will there be like a few presets for twigs?

Maxime · January 4, 2022, 2:53pm

Probably, although I don’t know how presets will be implemented (I have yet to try the asset browser)

Romanji · January 4, 2022, 3:24pm

Yes, yes, it does, kinda.
You just add a mesh to the asset browser that has an geo node attached to it.

That works for geo nodes but the Mtree node tree doesn’t belong to an object

Here is another twig example:

Here is the blend file:

Hello Maxime! Can You explain how your distribution branch geometry nodes works?
I tried to recreate your none setup in new “field” system, but nothing works. I figured out, that you are using direction attribute generated by your addon with align Euler and cross product, but it doesn’t give me much.

Slinc_HD · January 13, 2022, 7:40pm

@bicu i alredy did that and yes he is using atributes wich are generated by the addon

bicu · January 14, 2022, 6:28pm

oh, good for you i guess

Do you need so much details ? Think stylised it’s more than enought !
Thanks for your dev Maxime

I have problem with converting leaves into mesh. In previously version it was particle system distribution if i remember corectly, now its geonodes and when i apply modifier leaves disappears.

just like that one next to selected
any advise how to apply geonodes useing Mtree? Or how to convert thoes leaves into mesh? I need them to be single object

Renzatic · February 11, 2022, 3:55pm

You’ll need to add a Realize Instances node towards the end of the node tree, then apply it.

Thanks alot!

Slinc_HD · February 15, 2022, 3:10pm

so blender anounced that they will add geo node trees to the asset browser so for the new blender 3.1 ubdate will you ubdate mtree?

and also will we get a feture like spliting trunk

or wors kase you droped development for mtree :c

Maxime · February 17, 2022, 12:09am

I haven’t dropped development (and won’t), but unfortunately my free time tends to drop quite often !

Matt_Alder · February 17, 2022, 8:45am

Looks like i met another problem down the road.
When i drop Realize Instances node at the end of tree node i lose all textures

Matt_Alder · February 17, 2022, 10:15am

Edit:
The heavy solution that i found is converting leaves by this:

but this way objects are super heavy
