Growth pattern simulation of a Japanese Maple.Complex lighting model with self shadowing that effects growth.Leaves and branches are effected by gravity and wind.Until then please enjoy what I have so far which is a pretty tight demonstration of the engine with one tree type and a simple interface. Many features are planned for the future like ability to save and load trees, more tools, wiring, roots, pot selection, scenery, higher quality rendering, etc. As far as I know this is the first and only 3D tree simulator available anywhere. I would like to eventually build a full game around this concept. Go Bonsai is a prototype of highly realistic interactive tree growth software that I first released in 2008.
