Animate trunk Texture:

Just animate "the location in X" in the "Mapping" Material node. You can see how here:

Limitations

-Some leaves overlap each other. This can only be partially corrected. At minute 7:49 of the video tutorial, it is explained how.

-The rotation of the leaves on surfaces with very pronounced angles is not correct. It is not in line with the surface Normals. At minute 15:13 of the video tutorial you can see an example.

- Blender versions: 3.6 and 4.0

Since I have not been able to update the nodes or the usage process I can only recommend and guarantee its use in the indicated versions (3.6 and 4.0) as shown in Blendermarket. But if you want to use it in recent versions the easiest way is:

1.- use it in the blender 4.0 according to the tutorial.

2.- Save the file.

3.- Then open it in version 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 and it should work fine. Copy the curve and pest in your project.
