I should have checked it first :-(

It's be really nice if it could generate actual POV output...
It's always seemed really wasteful to me to 'build' the tree every render.

What do you mean?
You can export tree in mesh format. This way you don't have
to 'build' tree every render. You have to do that only if you
save tree as include file for TOMTREE macro. In order to
reduce parsing time in this case you can use modified version
of tomtree macro which I posted in p.b.s.-f. some time ago.
It works about 6-7 times faster.

Seems to work well under Mac OS X 10.2.5. That's a huge number of
options though...maybe it needs a tree-generator-parameters generator,
to produce slightly different trees of specific types.

You can play with 'randomness' parameter for different tree elements
to change their distribution.

Ahh, okay, I'll have to try that. As for meshs, I try to avoid them when
possible, they just seem... un POVlike.

Not quite what I meant...I was thinking of things like "height",
"bushyness", "health", and so on.
Well, I'll have to do something like this when I get Amber up and
running.

You can adjust mesh accuracy to make the surface smooth. Just
remember that high accuracy will increase the number of triangles
and parsing time as a result of that.

I was about to implement smth. like wizard which would guide
you through several steps where you could define those parameters
which you mentioned. As usual the problem is a lack of time :)
If anybody has enough time to do that you are welcome - the
source files are open :)

Come on... don't be so hard on meshes. They are definitely one of the most
efficient methods (memory-wise) of creating trees and plants in POV, because
you can duplicate them many times with only marginal memory use for each
additional copy. You can't do that with any other object. Plus, they store
their textures slightly more efficiently than other objects. Oh, and POV
usually renders them amazingly quickly!
