TreeDruid

How many times have you wanted to create a realistic tree, but haven't had the time nor the patience to model one? The intricate spider's-web of branches, the several-thousand leaves - not to mention animating it all!

Now there's an easier way: TreeDruid. Simply add a Null object, load up TreeDruid, change a few parameters, add a few envelopes, and you have fully animated trees and bushes!

You can envelope every single parameter for trees that grow, blow in the wind, and stretch towards the sky. TreeDruid even includes 39 pre-made tree projects for you to use in your scenes. Need a quick palm tree? Load in one of the four included palm varieties. How about an office fichus? Or an oak, pine, or weeping willow? All there for you to load in, edit to your satisfaction, animate, and use.

Change the branch amount, size, angles, twigs, leaf shape, trunk twist and taper, and more. You can even set the quality (polygon density) of the tree for camera distance! Have roots and leaves, and textures for your leaves and bark.

TreeDruid has a real-time, OpenGL preview window that allows you to spin your trees all the way around to see what they look like from all sides.

So why spend hours modeling the perfect tree, and then days trying to animate it, when you can do it in minutes with TreeDruid?
