Anyone with an ipad, have you guys tried the TreeSketch app? It works
really well, it's free, it's tactile and it saves to fbx.

I'm sure the feature sets are different, but drawing trees is really
nice with this app.

Is it realistic... I don't know, why not. People created hair or
feather systems already, and there are numerous experiments with
ICE strands for plants/trees.
Isn't that the whole idea of ICE anyway... being relatively quick
with things like that (given the necessary skills)?
Of course, if there's no "luxury" version, we'll have to stick to
the import-it-all workflow, like the last 10 years.
If it's really simple and headache-free (UVs, shaders...), it
might be allright for 95% of the cases.
Growth animations would be something you couldn't do that way,
though - a rare case maybe.
Reminds me of Maya's PaintFX tools... how long has those been
around? 13 years? Still nothing comparable in SI, is there.
Go for gold, or for compromises... what's better?

That should be enough to add collision support or
modification of pointpositions in ICE,
depending on individual needs and levels of refinement?
Cheers,

is it Realistic to ask for an ICE version of every third
party ware that comes out ? don't get me wrong it sounds
like an ideal solution and I think it would be awesome,
but is it
actually doable ?

Not bad at all, although a some native ICE
version would be ideal, with parameter tweaking,
animation and all.
(Don't know how you feel, but I always roll my
eyes when it comes to stand-alone applications. Not
just another, mostly crappy, interface.)
Fabric engine plants...?
Nice how you can draw a tree with a spline.
Impressive, yet not too hard to implement, I believe,
since practically every tree generator supports
curves/splines for the
trunks/branches, you just would have to add some
interactive tool for drawing them.
In fact, Softimage already has a curve>sketch,
yet how would you integrate that into a live ICE graph?
ICE nurbs(curves)... when will they come...?
