Tree Generator Desktop

Animated growing vegetation for Unreal Engine 5 and Unity

Create animated growing vegetation meshes for Unreal Engine 5 and Unity, with the same complete growth, hierarchical wind, material, texture, and LOD feature set for both engines, plus MegaPlants authoring for Unreal Engine 5.7.

Tree Generator Desktop is a standalone Windows vegetation-authoring tool for creating trees, bushes, vines, foliage, and fantastical plant structures. Build and preview the plant once, then export the same authored geometry and motion data through dedicated Unreal Engine and Unity workflows.

• Shared Unreal Engine and Unity workflow: Export geometry, materials, textures, optional LODs, animated growth data, and three-level hierarchical wind data to both engines.
• Animated growth: Preview plant development on a timeline with adjustable duration and Single, Loop, or Ping-Pong playback. Branches extend along their growth spines while leaves and mesh assets grow from their attachment points.
• Three-level wind: Author separate motion for the trunk, primary branches, and twigs or foliage, with independent speed and power controls.
• Engine support: Unreal Engine 5.6/5.7 and Unity 2022 through Unity 6.
• Unreal Engine MegaPlants addition: Prepare Growth Paths and reusable Palette Assets for Unreal Engine 5.7 Procedural Vegetation Editor and Nanite Foliage workflows.

Model procedurally, draw by hand, or use your own meshes

• Build trunks, branches, twigs, leaf layers, vines, and custom mesh layers in an editable parent-child node graph.
• Draw custom trunk and branch paths directly in 3D. Sketch new branches, reshape individual paths, and combine hand-authored forms with procedural child layers.
• Import OBJ models and use them as the actual trunk or branch mesh, not only as scattered details. Imported models can also be placed as flowers, fruit, thorns, or other plant structures.
• Control placement, density, gravity, taper, flare, bifurcation, custom cross-sections, curve profiles, and multi-scale organic noise.

MegaPlants authoring and export

MegaPlants Prep provides dedicated Unreal Engine 5.7 editing modes for defining branch-like Growth Paths and reusable Palette Assets. Auto-generate a starting setup or select and refine parts manually, assign palette assets to specific paths, preview each authored part, and validate the setup before export.

The MegaPlants package contains the complete tree GLB, authoring manifest, palette GLBs, and PVE growth JSON for the Tree Generator MegaPlant importer.

Materials and desktop workflow

• Create two-sided alpha-cutout foliage and materials with diffuse and normal textures, UV controls, height blending, and procedural top layers for effects such as moss or snow.
• Save projects, materials, and reusable assets to a disk-backed local library.
• Export OBJ for general DCC and static-mesh workflows.

License, updates, support, and requirements
