CalmTree is a Blender add-on for all the environment artist out there. This add-on enables the user to create complex trees quickly, whether it be for background or foreground. It is meant to give a basic or high quality tree mesh, depending on your needs. It can be used for quick drafting or almost complete asset creation.
<aside> ⚠️ This project is under active development. It might be slightly unstable. I am making updates and fixing bugs right as you are reading this. A new version is just around the corner!

Currently I am a chemistry student and making 3d artwork has been my hobby for about 6 years. In August 2022 I became ultimately annoyed by some free Blender tree generation add-ons. It felt like the process of creating a tree was clumsy and time consuming.
None of them had any connection to the real world so I never knew if results were convincing. So I consumed copious amounts of forum posts, documentation and coffee to create CalmTree.
It is foremost a personal project, I am trying to see how far I can go with my understanding of physics, coding and blender. Thus there are still lots of things to improve and expand on, the more I code the more ideas I have and I listed them in the Roadmap section.
I won't make this add-on public on GitHub because I see it as my own personal challenge, but if you have any ideas and are willing to share please contact me at [email protected].
