Re: Can you animate a tree? 2004-05-31 - By pmiinalainen

Not exactly. Parameters of the tree editor aren't animatable.
However, you can do little animation with modifiers like scale,
bend/twist etc. When you add modifiers, you have to select full
details and show leaves options in the tree editor. Otherwise leaves
won't render. This will also slow down your computer a lot.
Other options is to convert tree to vertex object and animate the
growing manually. Best control, but hideous loads of work...
I've animated trees with modifiers to get some wind effects etc.
Results were almost good... Not too happy with them. Requires lots
of testing and tweaking to get realistic results. If you need
realistic growth, i'd suggest investigating the options of using
tree druid plugin or external applications.
