A customizable procedurally-generated fractal tree.
From Code to Table
This organic looking tree was actually "grown" from a numeric seed using a simple mathematical algorithm.
Now you can use the Customizer App to create your own unique tree! You can change the parameters around to create a variety of different shapes, and you can also add your own text around the base.
Or, edit the OpenSCAD code and create a new species! My Instructable will get you started.
Edit: When I first posted this there were some things in my .scad script that Customizer didn't like. I think I've got most the bugs worked out now except for one thing. You have to edit one of the values before it will preview the first time. Before that it just shows a trunk.
Edit 2: If you want to download the code for all the individual steps in the Instructable, you can now clone it from GitHub at https://github.com/steveweber314/ProceduralTrees
