Tree macros again... I wanted to clean up the "gnarled tree" macro I
posted some months ago and of course I ended up rewriting the whole
thing. So there's a brand new version (with unfortunately a whole bunch
of new parameters ; and a leaf macro too). I'll post it in
binaries.scene-files in a few days, when I have more nice trees to show,
cleaner code and working examples of parameters. Here is one sample of
NO artistic value whatsoever, but at least it looks like a tree. Parsing
time is reasonable (72 sec on a Pentium Pro 200, 64 MB RAM, WinNT).

I believe this is the most realistic tree I've seen, bar the real ones.
What's the object count?

That is an excelent tree. Please give us render stats. Is there a lot of
random stuff in the code, or is this the result of carefully chosen
parameters?

Suggestion: make it output the results into an include file, so as to not have
to reparse and calculate things again. (Unless you are already doing this.)

This is the most realistic POV-Tree I've ever seen. It looks very good (and
I don't say this just because I'm a fan of yours ;-)

ok, great :-)
if you deal the source, I'll probably make an .inc creator from it(unless your
macro does that...) so I don't have to parse every time. a good work.

I am really forward to try your macro when you release it.

Very nice!

One thing I am interested in, and something that is absent from all POV trees,
is roots... All POV trees seet to just pop out of the ground.. some kind of
branches at the base to form gnarled roots would make this near perfect!

Love it! Wish I knew some code, so i could fool around with stuff like this
(gotta learn! gotta learn!)

:)

  I woulk have to agree with that. Root bundles are an unconsiouse
but necessary element of trees that makes the recognizable as trees.
The first thing that caught my attention when I first started looking
for prcesses to create organic life forms in Pov was the total absence
of roots on Pov construced trees. You may not say to yourself that tree
ain't got no roots but something troubles away at the back of your
mind saying that tree is wrong some how.


  For the record I could careless about an include file output. I make
so many changes to my files that I don't want to write a new file
every time I change one number to evaluate the change. Maybe a flag
to turn on output for the final version but not for every revision.

Govert Zoethout's tree include does include roots. Just look in this NG for
"T" by Govert Zoethout. Or see his website. I have done a translation of
some Dutch terms in the same thread.
