VERY impressive!  And very timely and inspiring (for me):  I'm currently
working on a similar idea, using isosurfaces...to get real bark detail
mostly,  but also to "bend" the trunk and make it "bumpy", and to create a
lower trunk shape that mimics the way the roots spread out.  Will post an
example soon.

Haven't yet thought about branches--which your macros do a *beautiful* job
with. Congratulations on your excellent code design! Like others, I would
very much like to see it. Please post when ready.  :-)
