By inserting other Objects in the first position
of the Branch Object subhierarchy it is possible
to multiply cubes or any given other type
of geometry along the Branch Object. The
amount of multiplied instances can be controlled
through the Number parameter of the
spline in the second position of the Branch Objects
subhierarchy. This parameter defines the
amount of intermediate points for this spline.
nodes along the Branch Object. Connecting
another Branch Object creates a new branching
level with smaller branches coming out
of the trunk or the branches of the previous
branching level. Other objects like a Cube
connected to the third position would create
cubes instead of branches:
The second position in the Branch Object's subhierarchy
contains a Cubic Spline that defines
the curvature of the trunk or the branches. By
editing the control points of this Spline the
curvature of the Branch Object can be influenced
The fourth position in the Branch Object subhierarchy
is reserved for the Object that is linked
to the end of the Branch Object. This creates
for example a possibility to put a leaf at the
end of a branch, or using the Branch Object
to create a stem of a flower, this would be the
place where the blossom needs to be linked to
appear at the end of the stem.
The third position in the Branch Object subhierarchy
contains the Object that is multiplied
along the trunk or branch. New instances of
this Object are generated at the branching
