MessageHay Graham,

any chance you could have a quick look at porting this little lightwave doodaa
over to a plugin for XSi, or give me a crash course in how to do it myself?

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dpont/plugins/TreeCage_Lscript.htm#Manual

It'd be a usefull plugin to have! And I'd love to know the process of
converting a plugin like this...

Cheers Graham (or Helge if he can help!)

Jamie

 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
