MessageThanks Graham, that is a real help man!
I would rather create the effect procedurally within XSi so I'll have a look
into the addon / LSystem route...
Cheers again

the few XSI tools I'm aware of are
-a very cool twig addon posted a way back, by Vincent Fortin.
-Helge has an L-system OP look on his site.
-and I think there are a few based generation or other methods floating
around somewhere that uses standard XSI OPs such as extrude etc with rules for
branching.
then of course there are lots of external tools/apps for generating branch
forms and trees etc. I use ho-- ---- -- for this for the animatable params and
rules then put sequential geo or the branch paths back into xsi.
'The Algorythmic beauty of plants' book will help with the formulas for
lsystems.

Hi list...
Has anyone had to tackle the making of meshes using procedural fractals for
branches on trees etc?
I need to create the vein structure inside a lung, they are made up very
similar to the structure of a tree...
any ideas? Helge?
Tar the noooo
