I use this image to show some of the new capabilities of  the new
version of "Tomtree", espescially the twig-ramification.

Very cool.  Is it blob-derived?
My dream, someday, is to figure out a truly procedurally based tree,
without hundreds of translate and rotate statements.

    Again, shouldn't Isosurface be able to do this? Some sort of a fractal
growing and spreading thing?

That's my dream. I'm thinking that it could involve a "fixed" noise3d with
some kind of ingenious formula to make it branch out more as one increases in
Y........

Would using Y be enough? The branches could spread horizontally as well as
vertically and might even bend back towards the ground.

I have played with that a little, not knowing what I am doing... I get
mostly lumpy fingers on a square pad.

    I have been sitting here trying to conceptualize this and I am having a
brain cramp.

    I can see a function that divides as it goes up y, but not one that
"branches". Warning ASCII art follows.

I see:

|    |    |    |
    |      |
        |

but not:

\  | |/_
 \ |/
   |

Isn't there a tad too many branches? Also I think some of the thinnest ones are
a bit thick.

Actually I'm more impressed by the vegetation to the left and in the lower
right corner. Is that produced by Tomtree too?
