3D Tree growing software
Plugin for growing and animating trees in Blender.
Let nature take its course and grow natural trees for use in 3D visuals, art and film. Simulate the seasons by growing, bending and pruning in interactive steps. Watch your trees evolve year by year.
Mimic the character of any tree while staying true to nature. A single set of parameters defines your treeโs life all the way from sapling to hero tree. This means that every branch from trunk to twig is treated equal, which causes the slightest change to resonate throughout your treeโs spreading branches.
Control the flow of sugar and hormones to make your creation compete for light. Set up an an environment to attract, deflect, shade and block new growth. Nurture your tree like mother nature, or use prune tools to manually shape your tree.
Quick start your tree โ Alder, Ash, Birch, Linden, Maple, Oak โ 14 presets capture a variety of tree forms. Thousands of species are just a couple of tweaks away.
Build high quality models that are lightweight to render. The Groveโs adaptive polygon reduction and unique twig system offer incredible detail, with very little impact on memory.
The Grove plays well with other 3D software, while integration with Blender adds the power of a full 3D application. It allows you to import twigs from you favorite modeler โ and export trees to your favorite renderer. Blender is the ideal host for The Grove on Linux, Mac and Windows.
Get the Grove and you get in on the most natural and fun way of growing 3D trees.
Grow, bend, prune, simulate the seasons
Grow
Let nature take its course and watch trees develop into beautiful shapes. Mimic any treeโs character with intuitive parameters taken straight from the woods. Learn more
Bend
Watch old branches bend under the weight they carry. The continuous interplay between bending down and growing upward is what creates some of the most beautiful tree shapes. Learn more
Prune
Witness branches compete for light โ drop them when too little is available. Evolve your trees into airy branching structures. Learn more
Flow
Regulate growth by controlling the flow of sugars and hormones. Favor bright over dark, rising over dangling, and old over new. Learn more
React
Set up an environment to attract, deflect or stop new growth. Avoid buildings, simulate a dominant wind direction and grow inside a shape. Learn more
Build
Pull out all stops on detail. Let twigs take over the last branching generations. Build lightweight 3D tree models full of intricate berries and flowers. Learn more
Animate
Bring your trees to life with mesmerizing wind and rich data layers. Both flow fluently into an Alembic container.
