You might find these useful:

(by Ammusionist [I’m almost sure])

http://uploader.polorix.net//files/111/ParticleGenerations.blend

and there’s a sticky in one of the art forums about this, though it was before the particle rewrite so the blends may not work.

Here ( http://www.linuxgraphic.org/section3d/blender/pages/didacticiels/botanique/botanique.pdf ) :eek: is a French tutorial showing how to model & texture plants using static particles. There was an even better tut by Carsten Wartmann in the “Tutorial Guide #2” book.
The particle panels (well, all Blender panels) have however changed so much that I was never able to redo this in modern versions… :no:

2.40. That’s from the thread where you taught me about Generations. It’s an excellent Demo file.
