Martin Tomka the key person behind Simartom.com has released T-Gen 2 a tree and plant generator which fully integrated into Softimage XSI. Many Softimage XSI tools are supported to change materials, geometry or hierarchy. Almost all parameters of T-Gen can be animated.
T-Gen 2 features:
New core – On average T-Gen 2 is 3x-4x faster
New Dynamics – you can now use XSI forces to simulate tree and plant dynamics.
New distribution options – new distribution types are random and point distribution.
New noise types – you can now use perlin noise to get more natural look of branches.
Advanced appearance and distribution settings
Node-based tree and plant hierarchy
Multicore support
Plant dynamics
Geometry optimization
Animatable trees and plants
Intuitive interface
Seamless XSI integration
Powerful free version
Export of plants
