Simulating Tree Growth using Geometry Nodes - Blender Conference 2024

[@sinachiniforoosh]

Would be nice if there were links to the social media of the presenters, and their products, in the description

As an avid gardener myself, the tree growth simulation is much more decent than any other others you can probably find. A little off in how the trunks and branches formed but its decent. The shrubberies shown here however are just as bad as everyone out there. I think artists need to look at actual plant timelapses, or record some themselves to see just how wrong they are simulating plant growth.

I wish you guys would have been able to finish that demo! I needed to see how that tree went! An excellent talk and well done!

[@NicCrimson]

I was planning to create this exact thing because everything out there is outdated. But optimized for game engines. This will be very useful.

Interesting approach to simulation; on my channel, I have a tree tool approach that offers greater artistic control. But finding the balance with this simulation would be the holy grail

[@7bajwa]

Yes, I saw your video. Even reached out to you to ask if those are ready to share. So we are waiting once those are ready to be released. I personally loved your tools. :)

[@Node_Art]

@@7bajwa I'm working on that right now, inspired by this conference, to bring some things into real-time during editing.

[@Bau-3d]

awsome technique and great attempt on simulating a tree. I wish there was a full tutorial on the workflow to the final result. i really like the approch done here, will you do the full tutorial in future or maybe a addon we can get to use this geonode? (willing even to pay for haha)

[@shluhenfurer]

I can easily sell plants created in Plant factory converting them into fbx or any other format and of course blender format.

[@7bajwa]

Yes, It is completely free also. It was not intuitive to use and did not offer all the features which speedtree offers and some which I personally required for my workflow. I will surely give it another go if it's updated with more latest features.
