But the lenght of the brenches in fact are varying based on their position on the tree as you are asking for. This is managed by the "tree shape" parameter (pyramidal, spherical, ...) . See the pdf doc for this parameter.

As always, I did not spend enough time reading the manual. I will read it.

I ran into another small issue: I made my own leaf-component and textured both front and backside of the faces. If I run the tree plugin the mapping coordinates of the backfaces of those leafs get messed up.

It's easy to fix by right clicking on a component and reload the original leaf-file but a bit strange.

Still, compliments on the plugin! Having great fun with it the last couple of hours

Amazing plug-in...
How heavy is this file Massimo?

Only purged (and not tried yet with cleanup), 3,5Mb.

Does someone could confirm SU 2013 has or not better features to build user input data interfaces ? Or should I go any way with Applets and html code ?

No improvements whatsoever.

You can try a library Aerilius-onscreen-gui. That is what He has doneto improve things.

how many faces? this is the important thing. leaves should be substituted for quad face PNGs.

This is after running cleanup.

Sorry for the following dumb question but I didn't take the time to read all the post or even try the plug-in yet...
All the leaves are components?

Dear all,
I’m really impressed by the number of interesting comments and feedbacks received on this plugin. And I really like the olive tree variations of Massimo. (Encourage everyone to publish their preferred trees made with the plugin).
Thanks to all of you. I will do my best to improve it in future releases, but as the plugin is free and not my job please be patient. I will need to learn more on dev.
Here are few bug corrections that include :

Reversed faces for the trunk and branches in order for face normals to point outward
Changed the scaling function of flowers to be correctly handled by Thea (and other renders)
Removed the ruby console
Version available on http://3darcstudio.com/en/downloads-files/sketchup-plugins/206-3d-tree-maker-sketchup-plugin
I carefully read all other comments and I’m looking how to integrate them in other devs.
Yours
Pascal

PS: script will be published into the Sketchucation Store, but not ready yet.

Krisidious

Don't feel rushed Pascal... This is an incredible contribution to the community. Very exciting.

massimo

Thanks for the very quick fix Pascal.

Hi Kris,
Sorry for that but I only tested it on SU8 as dev started after SU8 was available. Do not know what functions are not correctly supported by previous versions.
Do you get at least the menu in plugins ?
I you activate the Ruby console, do you get some messages in the console ?

I found the problem, perhaps due to a misspelling between lines = begin and = end, this is due only to a point out of place, just before = end, in my case, I have many plugins installed and thought it was due to one that caused the conflict, I tried an installation of SU 8 without additional plugins and charge well, it might be the WXP vs windows vista, in windows vista remove the point of the last sentence of the load file header specifically as follows:

original
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
= end
new
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
= end

in windows vista files are not loaded when I was at the end point of the line before = end, but in windows xp there was no problem loading the plugin

another thing I did was copy the contents of the folder directly in the plugins folder of SU 8
