Well, the code's moved on a little - I'll hopefully try it out in a test
scene tonight, w/ some texturing on the tree. The basic code looks like it
would be good for other things (ginseng, ginger, sweet potatoes, coral?),
but, as usual w/ my macros, I can't get the parameters to do anything
particularily predictable. Also, w/ no gravity, it's very dependant on luck
and rand to generate a useful shape.
