AlexP Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Hello I'm trying to find a solution to one problem with l=system. I'm trying to make cuts in the tree. For example, I have a tree height of 20, I need to make 20 cuts in it, to get 20 individual pieces. I do not know how to write it an L-Systems and is it possible at all. Of course I could just model tree and make cuts, but it not a good way. thank you and sorry for my english. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old school Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Two ways I can think of: As you grow the tree, you can put each section of the trunk in to a different group or assign an attribute and increment it per piece you wish to isoate. After the l-system, it is trivial to isolate each section either by attribute or group and then using a Divide SOP, extract the edges to get your cross-section profiles. See the help on the l-system SOP to get the rule to create groups and attributes: http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini11.1/nodes/sop/lsystem Edited November 2, 2011 by old school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
