Could This Add-On Change Blender Trees FOREVER? (AnyTree Tutorial)

[@TheCGEssentials]

Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about AnyTree in the comments below! :)

[@bromine35]

Too expensive. Guess I have to stick with sapling tree gen.

[@rasmusyde5909]

What's up guy! Congrats on 100.000. I remember watching your videos when Blender was still a whole new world to me. Thank you.

[@TheCGEssentials]

Thanks very much!

BadNormals is a great channel dude. His explanation on math subject is awesome. Anytree is sensacional, he used the new update on blender 3.4 very fast, giving him a head start on the subject

[@LuxAlibi]

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. There are no settings to change this behavior . 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". So, if you need a tree that follows a fantasy shape is great, but for making realistic trees definitely thumb down! Apart from that, there are still a lot (really a LOT) of bugs in AnyTree.

[@BadNormals]

Hey, this branching issue and the rest of the bugs are fixed now. I've made the tool a lot faster and functional as well. As the updates are free, I think you'll have a better experience with the latest version.

I wish the blender market had purchasing power parity, as a college student I get 100 dollars a month which includes rent and food so I'll have to save for 6 months or so to be able to get it. I know it wouldn't be useful to the addon creators but it should be an option that the creator can apply

[@morninstar_lucifer]

Interesting addon, what's the tris count for the entire tree at the end?

[@johndeggendorf7826]

Imagine if Tim Burton had “AnyTree” for “Edward Sissorhands”…incredible tool. Fractal-like, as is nature. 🤔🍷🎩🎩🎩👍

[@pranays]

Anything to make trees quickly is a great help. Especially if it can be made into a game asset they are so time consuming.

[@МихаилВысоцкий-я5о]

I think this addon is awsome! Very helpful.

[@TheCGEssentials]

Glad you think so!

[@Cineinsaner]

congrats for 100k i like your intro when you speak

[@TheCGEssentials]

Thanks! 😃

[@ИванЗырянов-ф5щ]

What's up guy! Cool lesson, thanks

[@reaganmonkey8]

12:16 one at you could get presets is by making them yourself and then saving them to your asset browser.

[@TheCGEssentials]

You could I suppose - part of my problem is probably a lack of talent on my part to make it more closely match specific trees ;)

[@strikergoo9389]

For this tree add-on we change texture of leaves and bark, right, please tell me

[@andrewfire8752]

when using nodes, the leaves from the tree disappear. how to save a tree with leaves into one object? version blender 3.5.1

[@visualdrip.official]

hey there, I dont see any branches when I click "add new shape tree" ... any ideas? im on blender 3.1 , i tried on 3.0 as well and nothing

[@Znop]

2 weeks late but you need to be on 3.4, that's the only supported version of AnyTree

[@kodiakbluefox6643]

Howdy CG Essentials, I have a question. What is your attitude towards "Royalty Free" licensed Blender addons? I personally don't like this one that much as it can throw some obstacles in your way. I prefer GPL licenses only. How do you see it? Thanks in advance.

[@TheCGEssentials]

What obstacles specifically are you talking about?

[@kodiakbluefox6643]

@@TheCGEssentials Well, isn't it the case that when I create something with an addon that's licensed under a royalty, I always have to ask the author first if I can continue to use it commercially? At least that's how I understood it.

[@TheCGEssentials]

@@kodiakbluefox6643 That's not how the license is explained here - blendermarket.com/page/royalty-free-license

[@kodiakbluefox6643]

@@TheCGEssentials I've read through it several times and as far as I understood it, GPL is better, isn't it?

[@TheCGEssentials]

@@kodiakbluefox6643 I'm still not seeing specifically what about the license it's distributed under you're not liking. "GPL is better" for what?

[@handlehaggler]

can you use this and make a pine tree please?

[@alicantum]

super stupid question, did everything, have my tree. Now how can I not see the cube objects around my tree?! O_o

[@gauravchaudhary9876]

Hello, I need help with the leaves. When I convert tree into mesh all the leave just disappear there is no mesh can some one help me Thanks

[@troyl44]

im having the same problem, did you ever find a solution?

[@TheKevphil]

I think it might be a little too easy to end up with sci-fi trees, so as you say. the ability to choose the type of tree would be nice. The animation feature IS nice, though again, perhaps more in the fantasy realm. Also: VERY expensive.

[@TheCGEssentials]

Very expensive for what application?

[@LuxAlibi]

@@TheCGEssentials Very expensive for a product full of bugs, plenty of limits (see my other comment) and abandoned (in spite of the promises from the author). I really like your videos, but this time it was not a good advise and I actually wasted my money. Off course I'm not blaming you, but I think you should know, as a feedback.

[@BadNormals]

@@LuxAlibi Hey, Anytree is far from being abandoned. It has gotten around 5 updates since you wrote this comment. All reported bugs have been solved + it's around 6x faster to use. I recommend you try out the latest version as all the updates are free as promised.

[@troyl44]

@@BadNormals hey really great addon! But I cant seem to make the leaves into mesh without them disappearing, is there something im missing?

[@salwandavid2503]

Hi Can I Export to eu5 without problems ؟

[@SantoSVD98]

Interesting Addon but i think It Needs some improvements. I feel like It misses some parameteres to personalizs your shape esperience... Idk. Btw i Need used the bulit in tree gen, Mtree Is way Better in most of cases to create trees.

[@chrisharvey7461]

i got an error dosent work

[@diegoarce490]

I would love to see how to do a Bonsai

[@robertYoutub]

I have seen tons if tree generators and thats not even 5% of one. The idea is ok, but plants follow a logic way growing and what I get with a few clicks out of speedtree etc, is many times better

[@TheCGEssentials]

I mean...I don't think anyone was implying a Blender geometry node add-on for making trees is comparable to one of the stand-alone industry leading softwares built ground up for only creating trees and vegetation...

[@robertYoutub]

@@TheCGEssentials Yes, the approach is great, but als mtree uses nodes and the developer of thegrove3d wants to do that in the future. But if you look at speed tree nodes, or growls in 3dsmax you have a much challenging workflow. And there is huge difference between game trees and archviz. I wish there would be a tool but honestly seeing over the years how complex the task is.. 5% .. still a long way to go. And I used the first beta of speed tree once.

[@chuzzbot]

Yes promising, bit Janky, limited and no roots!

[@muhamadlaez3805]

Indonesia is here, when are you visiting Indonesia!? 🇮🇩

[@TheCGEssentials]

Never been - hopefully can make it out there some day!
