Added option to create multiple-seeded trees from same settings #12

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

This is a simple change that originally I wrote a few days ago for my own copy of the sapling add-on, I rewrote the changes to be cleaner here. It allows you to set up the tree that you like and then multiply it with different seeds for the branches. The option is 'tree count' just below 'seed' in the geometry menu. (This should be done as the last step as it increases update time and they germinate on the same origin.)

I'd like to see it made available to others but I don't have any connections in the community, so I'm hoping that it could be pulled into your version.

I'm new to blender and to python, so I couldn't figure out how to distribute the trees from the cursor, I'm currently looking into using an object's bounding box as my distance indication but I won't be able to work on that for a few days.

hi, I've considered adding something like this before, but I don't think I will merge this request. I am planing on doing it differently, I may start working on that soon.

I'll close my fork down now. This was actually my first go at the python language, so I was pretty sure that in my fumbling around I was breaking some semantics that I didn't know about. Glad to hear the idea is being considered, Thank you.
