Tree Settings

---

You can use the tree settings to set the overall shape of a tree, and how the tree is affected by gravity. You can set the amount of randomness for the tree, ensuring that even with the same settings, no two trees will look alike. You can also use the Tree Lab's memory dots to store settings as you experiment with different tree attributes.

Tree shape

The overall shape of a tree varies greatly for different species of trees. Using the Shape drop down list, you can choose a species of tree for the overall shape of the tree.

To choose a tree shape:

• Click the Shape drop down list and choose a species of tree.

Gravity

The branches and leaves of a tree can be affected by gravity. When gravity is high, the branches of a tree will droop and the leaves will be oriented towards the ground. When gravity is low, the same branches may be more upright, and the leaves may be oriented in all directions. The Gravity slider lets you specify how much gravity will be applied to a tree.

To set the gravity amount:

• Drag the Gravity slider right to increase the amount of gravity and left to decrease it, or enter a value in the field.

Randomness

Trees in nature are not perfectly shaped. Two trees of the same species growing under identical conditions will vary greatly from one another. In Bryce, you can control the randomness of a tree so that, even with the identical settings, no two trees will be identical. The randomness setting affects both branch angles and leaf angles.

To set a value for randomness:

• Drag the Randomness slider right to increase the amount of randomness and left to decrease it, or enter a value in the field.

Saving Tree Lab settings

The memory dots in the Tree Lab let you store your favorite Tree Lab settings. Using these dots you can safely explore many Tree Lab configurations without losing your favorite settings along the way. Memory dots appear at the bottom of the Tree Lab.

The memory dots in the tree lab let you store your favorite Tree Lab settings.

To save Tree Lab settings:

• In the Tree Lab, click on an empty dot (empty dots are gray).

All the current Tree Lab settings are stored in the selected dot.

To switch to a saved Tree Lab setting:

• Click on a full dot (full dots are blue). The current settings are replaced with the settings stored in the dot.

An active dot will be blue with a white point inside it.

To reset Tree Lab settings to default:

• In the Tree Lab, click the leftmost memory dot. This dot always appears full.

To delete a saved Tree Lab setting:

• Option/Alt+click on a full memory dot.

The leftmost dot cannot be cleared.
