I'm trying to elaborate a little bit the Idea that run in my mind.

I will like to use bifrost to art directing tree creation. Without any sort of sim or L-system or any other. The idea is pretty simple. Draw the basic strands\shape and distribute the secondary branches over the first strand. The secondaries need a start position distribution, a noise curl, even the main trunk. And the basic shape branches should be match the base weight.

It's so simple, not?

The Idea remain an idea without the technical knowledge so can someone helps me to elaborate this for the community and for me off course?

The answer for the sequence_array vector direction is in your question. If you are using it with a float3, then the value is the vector. For more control, you could normalize a vector and then multiply it with a float to easily control the length of each steps.

Thanks guys.

Now i will like to set the rotation of instanced array on the main axis of my trunk, array sequence representing the main trunk.

And also i will like to do a variation on scale, based not randomize but by height\elevation\longest.

Thanks in advance

I am voluntarily going crazy with the idea of ​​creating a procedural tree. But I love the idea of ​​doing it (of creating procedural trees not going crazy) I hacking the Bifrost Feather Generator Tool

to make my branches for the leaves. I cannot orient the barbules forward. On the other hand, in the barbs I have succeeded by using a combination of nodes already in its interior. Someone who would like to collaborate on improving this idea is welcome. Thanks
