      at3D.....it should be in your plugin folder...?

      And some autumn shades

      EDIT:

      Apart from anything else this is a lot of fun and the range of shapes is pretty limitless. I dont think smaller shrubs will be too much of a problem.
      And about a 20 minute learning curve 😄

        Okay, my little "contribution"; a hazelnut like tree (at least that's what I indended to create):

        ...this is a "medium quality" (600 pixel) output of the tree maker. I wanted to create something that is similar to a hazelnut tree/bush and well... this is the first trial. It has roots as well so I placed the origin a bit higher so that the roots merge into the ground a bit but this way some of the branches do so. 😄 ...

        And a screenshot:

        This is a great tool, Al!

            Nice one, Alan; I haven't cared for the shadows this time (yet). Though it increases file size as well, if you mean to use it in native SU,it is necessary.

            Another one of mine; a "Silver birch" (like) tree:
            http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=3df72c0a4f7104a3ffe3705437c1b39c

            And the screenshot:

            SilverBirch.jpg
            This time I think with a bit more crooked branches than in reality (BTW is this silver birch?)

            Gai...

                Thanks for the leaf! And surely there are a couple of superb bark textures down there! 👍

                    When making Palm trees the bend option shows in the raytrace but not in the component, it straightens out.

                          Al, thanks for sharing......this really made my morning. It's like Onyx for Sketchup! Amazing stuff! I'll see if I can do some testing as well.

                          EDIT - Al, when I download from the link you provided on the renderplus forum, I get a .zip file that is empty (0 bytes)......any ideas?

                            I used my technique for exporting a vector outline from PS, then merged that and the image directly in SU. It takes about 10 minutes, but it's a little more controllable.

                            Hi Alan do you have a link to this please - I tried a quick search with no results.

                              This version isn't quite ready for the 3DW yet, but here's a SU shadow-casting version. I didn't use the script; I used my technique for exporting a vector outline from PS, then merged that and the image directly in SU. It takes about 10 minutes, but it's a little more controllable.

                                        I have downloaded this and it is an exe file, which means Windows only. Any chance of a Mac version too Al?

                                          The Fractal tree software is Windows only, and I just can't seem to get the developer interested in MAC version.

                                            Stu, I have installed and located within SU but when pressed to, what I hope will activate, nothing happens in SU.

                                            My machine is running Vista, could this be an issue?

                                            Try opening the Ruby Console, and typing in: load('RpTreemaker,rb') and see if you get any error messages. Of if you get any error messages when you click Plugins/RpTreeMaker.rb

                                            If there are no problems there, go to: Program Files\Render Plus Systems\RpTreeMaker
                                            and see what happens when you run TreeEditor.exe by hand. There may be a DLL or something which is missing.
