Tropism – procedural tree generator for Modo

Digital Expressions Sweden has released Tropism, a new procedural plugin for Modo that allows the user to create trees and other types of foliage as well as many other types of branching structures. Features include: 

• The ability to grow entities like trees, shrubs, plants, veins, lightning bolts in real time
• Grow inside mesh boundaries, on mesh surfaces or in point clouds using the built-in point generator (Point Scatter)
• Paint vertices on mesh surfaces and see vines grow in realtime where you paint
• Define start location of the growth using one or more locators (roots)
• With several roots all entities will compete for space without branch collisions
• Use deformers, effectors to shape, deform and animate the growth
• Mesh UV-mapping automatically generated
• High/Low poly generation
• Use curves as guides for growing
• Leaf system controls

The plugin costs $50 for a perpetual license. Find out more on Payhip and watch a demo on YouTube.
