Pine Tree using Geometry Nodes

Support Modeling
1

Hi, is it possible to make a pine tree using geometry nodes. I used MTree addon but it doesn’t allow you to taper the leaves (larger at bottom and smaller towards the top).

Here is a diagram with how I see it working.

Nothing too complicated but I think this might work. Does someone know how I would make this using geometry nodes or is it too involved.

Thanks.

This looks great. I really appreciate your help. I was playing with the file and was trying to create space between the branches like in the image below. Is there a simple way to do this?

change the count on the resample curve to reduce the density:

Hi, I forgot to ask how one would add a texture to the tree trunk. I don’t see a node related to that.

Try the Set Material Node node.

Good luck.
