I have to take my time for this project, so please be a little bit patient. I'm
interested in the results for myself since the idea is a little bit insane. But
I think it can work. And I love insane ideas...

Paolos code gave me some ideas for simplifications I would not came up having
not studied it. This may speed up the project (but make it more simple, of
course). But at the moment I'm only interested in testing the possibility. And
not in realistic growing trees with elabourated barks and leafs. If I can extend
Paolos approach into the third dimension and determine the direction of growth
with the meshcam in a simple animation (made with POV of course, I have no idea
about blender), I will be content. But having only two or three hours in the
evenings for such projects, it will take a while.

Best regards,
Michael
