procgen - trees

PROCJAM 2024 UPDATE:

Made another small addition to this project for this year's PROCJAM. I've made a first attempt at Oak trees now, though still very work-in-progress.

- - -

A work-in-progress tool for creating procedurally generated trees and other natural environment features for another project.

Initially going with placeholder sketch art, but I intend to do a proper graphics pass eventually.  The goal is to create various trees and plants.

PROGRESS

v1 - Starting with simple vertical trees (cypress): click to plant 1 of 3 variations with  random length and shape, built from base, mid and top segments.

v2 - Added tree trunks and made it so whole tree can be rotated or moved with all parts to allow for more flexible placement and dynamic movement.

v3 - Added random segment variations to increase variety + other tweaks.

v4 - Made trees scale-independent, resize & angle with mouse or KB.

v5 - Added dynamic wind, fir trees, and manual height stretching.

v6 - Added pine trees, 1st pass very work-in-progress.

v7 - Pine trees 2nd pass, separate branch movement.

v8 - Added style swapping from image files.

v9 - Added Y-shaped trees (WIP).

v10 - Oak trees 1st pass.

To be continued...

NEXT:

- saving and loading trees

- more tree types: olive, etc

- bushes, grass and other plants
