  I love Anytree but I have found it glitchy when using the the wind function and when doing anything in which the tree is moved. I suspect the movement glitches are due to random number derived from position data. I have been able to work around this by rotating the cameras and lights instead of the trees. The wind glitches are more troubling. When using wind, tiny weird looking bare "branches" escape the bounding shape making it difficult to use. I contacted the dev about the three weeks ago and have not heard back. It makes BEAUTIFUL trees and roots, but these glitches have slowed my production down. I hope that they can be addressed in future versions. (I'm on W11, Blender 3.5.1, RTX4090, lots of ram)

  Pretty good. Priced a little high for what it does but I'm sure it took a lot of work to put together. Would love to see a control for branch intensity, didn't see any way to control how many branches you're making other than scaling the source mesh. Some minor bugs, like when you create a second tree it seems to default to the original tree source even if it's deleted from the scene. Easy to just switch it, so it's not a deal breaker. Definitely a useful plugin. Worth it if you're looking for this specific functionality.

  Thanks! To add more branches, you can increase the "Tree Detail" slider. It defaults at five, but the higher the number the more branches you'll have. Thanks for letting me know about the second tree bug, I'll fix it.

  Works very well on B3.4. Wind is only on the leaves for now - but its on Bad Normals - to do list. Thank you for that. Great to form any tree you wish for.

  A bit of mixed feelings about it, good potential but not very solid at the moment if you are looking for realistic trees.

  I would really wish for more control over the shape of the trunk and being able to add tiny branches on the big ones without needing to crank the level of detail for the whole tree that reduces the performance quite a bit.

  Does it do what it says? Yes. Does it do what I hoped it would? Not really but I am really hoping for future updates that can make this into a must have add on.

  Hey, thanks for the feedback!

  I'll write those things down, and if you have some more details to add, feel free to send me a longer message on Blender Market, so that I can better develop new features.

  There's a rather big update already coming out tomorrow, which reduces the polycount exponentially, improves UVs, improves displacement and much more, so stay tuned for that!

  AnyTree has lot of potential, but also a big problem.
  In AnyTree, when a branch splits, the two new branches tend to run almost parallel for a while, before getting a wider angle and taking different directions.
  This is a typical behavior in bushes, but very rare in trees, especially in old aged trees.
  You may think it is a subtle detail, but if you try to make an old oak or maple the result will always be unrealistic.
  You don't need to be a tree expert to have this feeling: you may not realize the reason, but you will feel that "there's something wrong in that old maple".
  The product is not really usable for me now, but I give 3 star because it is promising. I'll be happy to give 5 stars if the developer adds a way to control the average angle of splitting branches.

  Hey dude no hate I'm looking forward to using the addon but atm im having the same issue alessandro graci had 2 months ago with the "add shape tree" function not working just leaving me with transparent mesh. Is there a work around here, similarly i cant seem to find anything online.

  Hey, this issue is because you are using a Blender version that is not compatible. Anytree works with 3.4 and up.

  Let me know if this worked for you.
