A focused procedural add-on that lets you drive tree generation through numerical values while keeping leaf objects and materials fully editable.
Tree Generator is an add-on for Blender that generates trees inside the viewport. It is accessed from the 3D View sidebar under the Create panel, where adjusting each numerical value lets you produce different trees.
Leaf objects are randomly selected from a collection named "LeavesCollection", and you can change which leaves appear by inserting your own object into that collection. When a tree is generated, "Tree" and "Leaf" materials are created at the same time, and both can be adjusted afterward.
The add-on is procedural in nature and comes with documentation. A demo video is available for anyone wanting to see more before adding it to their Blender setup. It ranks at position 2513 in the Superhive library.
Tree Generator [Add-On] is best for blender users who want to generate trees procedurally and swap in their own leaf objects.
Tree Generator [Add-On] is completely free to download and use.
Tree Generator lists Blender version 3.3 as its supported version. If you run a different release, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing. The add-on works from the 3D View sidebar under the Create panel, so once installed you access all its controls there. Confirming your Blender version matches what the developer states is the safest way to avoid issues when generating trees and editing their leaves and materials.
Tree Generator selects leaf objects randomly from a collection named "LeavesCollection". To use different leaves, insert your own object into that collection, and it becomes available for selection. This means the foliage is not fixed to a single shape and can be swapped for whatever object you prefer. The approach keeps leaf choice open while the rest of the tree is driven by the numerical values you adjust in the Create panel.
Tree Generator creates two materials, "Tree" and "Leaf", at the same time the tree is generated. Both can be adjusted to your liking afterward, so you are not locked into the default appearance. This lets you refine how the trunk and foliage look once the geometry is in place. Combined with the swappable leaf objects, it gives you room to change both the surfaces and the parts that make up each generated tree.
Tree Generator is listed as free in this catalog and is offered under a royalty-free license. For current licensing terms and any purchase details, visit the developer's page, since the arrangement shown here reflects how it is catalogued rather than a live checkout. The add-on also ships with documentation, which is worth reviewing to understand how the generator and its numerical controls are meant to be used.
