Fractal tree generator

[zomg]

Made this yesterday =)  thought the forum might find it interesting.

Generates trees recursively, each branch is itself a 'tree'.   

Came out to be very close to nature (I think so anyway).

haha, nice animation it generates when growing, well done!
a note, when branching there is a formula for the size of the child branches, which comes down to that any child branches widths  should summ up to the mother branch

very nice script

Very interesting !!!   

Made a small forest with different values entered in.  Ended up looking like a bleak winter scene where the leaves have completely fallen off and nothing but snow in the background.

a simple tweak might be to give the trees random shades of grey

Make that a couple of tweaks:

• Ability to choose a color for the current "tree" being rendered.
• Ability to choose the background color.

Thanks for the positive feedback!  I had forgotten about this post and just returned to it after a few months.

I made the changes recommended from your comments, thanks!

Too bad this site seems to be dead. Did anyone save some pictures so I can see how they looked like? - I'm also working on a fractal tree generator.

no, i just can describe it to you, it basically was starting with a line, and this line then branched randomly forming the shape of trees in its most rudimentary form, interactive and realtime for moving trees and watching them grow, some eye candy fractal experiments i would say

Thanks. You know, some time ago I started to make trees as .STL files. Most of them are way too complicated to print, but I can post the pictures in some thread.
