  This is exactly what I needed for my ArchViz purposes. I needed trees that conform to building shapes and the tool allowed me to do just that. The trees are relatively high poly and increasing some settings will slow down the algorithm. Nonetheless I could create a large variety of oak trees and save me lots of time! Hopefully the creator will upload more tree species soon.

  This is probably fine for background/temp trees but it creates some really nasty looking intersections between the trunk and branches, the trunk and roots, etc. basically anywhere something physically connects to anything else is unnaturally bad looking. I wish blendermarket allowed screenshots in reviews but you'll have to take my word for it I guess. I'll re-review if it ever gets an update that improves but for now I wouldn't bother unless you're using it for stuff that is REALLY far away from the camera

  Thanks for the honest feedback and you're absolutely right. Your review was a wake-up call, and I took it very seriously. I didn’t reply earlier because Superhive only allows one response per review, and I wanted to make sure it counted.

  Over the past two and a half months, I completely overhauled TreeShaper’s core geometry engine. The new version 2.0 replaces the skin modifier with a custom quad-based topology, introduces clean UV maps, and adds a new twist factor for more natural variation. Most importantly, I've completely reworked how branches, roots, and trunks connect, directly addressing the unnatural intersections you pointed out.

  Your review helped shape this update, literally. If you're willing to give it another try, I’d love to hear your thoughts and would greatly appreciate if you consider updating your rating.

  Thanks again for helping make TreeShaper better.
