Tree3D

Plugin for procedural generation of 3D trees of varying complexity.

Possibilities

• Procedural tree generation. Control the height, slope, number of branches, branch length, gravity, twist, and detail.
• Turn leaves on or off depending on the season, plant size and material.
• Generate collision automatically, fast for collisions with tree trunks only, or detailed for the trunk and all tree branches.
• Create procedural tree growth from a sapling to a large mature tree using code.

Supported Godot Engine Versions

• Godot 4.5+ (Windows, Linux, MacOS)

Notes

• To ensure the tree displays correctly, use Cull Mode: Front for the tree trunk material.
• To change the season, you can make one unique leaf material for all the trees and then change its color or texture to make them yellow.

Building the GDExtension

1. Place godot-cpp of the version you need in the godot-cpp folder
2. Use the SCons command (depending on your platform and Godot build version):

scons target=template_release platform=windows

Or use ready-made libraries

Using Docker to build this GDExtension

For easier reproducibility, there is a Dockerfile provided for building binaries for Linux and Windows.

docker build -t tree3dbuilder:latest .
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/source" tree3dbuilder:latest scons target=template_release arch=x86_64 platform=windows

Soon...

• Wind and swaying foliage.
• A tool for quickly placing trees and forests in any location or landscape.
• Support for custom models instead of default foliage.
