+ | In the image to the right, there are three trunks of varying lengths. | ||
+ | |||
+ | > | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each of this generation mode's properties is described below. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Steps == | ||
+ | The number of steps (each step has one or more nodes) assigned to a parent of average length (longer parents get more steps, shorter parents get fewer). | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Per Step == | ||
+ | The properties in this group control the nodes at each step. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Number== | ||
+ | Sets the number of nodes in a step. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Offset== | ||
+ | Use this value to apply a random up or down offset to the nodes in each step. A value of 0.0 means each node in the group is placed at the same position along the parent. A value of 1.0 means each node might spread out as far as the next or previous step. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Roll== | ||
+ | Each node is rotated this amount from its initially computed angle. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Jumble == | ||
+ | A variance is placed on each node's orientation in order to achieve a more natural and random appearance. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Sweep == | ||
+ | Specifies an arc around the parent node where nodes are eligible. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Roll == | ||
+ | Each node is rotated this absolute amount from its computed angle. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Align style == | ||

+ | ^Individual|Each node rolls skyward independently.| | ||
+ | ^Group|All of the nodes in the group roll skyward together.| | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Align == | ||
+ | This option toggles the skyward rolling behavior described above. | ||
