T-Gen 2 for XSI released !

After months of hard work I am finaly releasing new version of T-Gen. I believe it's huge improvement over the old version. This update is FREE for all existing users.




New features :


  • New core - On average T-Gen 2 is 3x-4x faster over the old version. While most of the UI stays the same, T-Gen 2 is build from scratch to properly support multiple CPU cores. Check video below to see new core in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnEhl2OBr_c
  • Dynamics - you can now use XSI forces to simulate tree and plant dynamics. Forces in action : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYqRK0Us-fk
  • Various new features and UI improvements
  • New distribution options - new distribution types are random and point distribution. By using point distribution you can define exact positions of branches or leaves. See demonstration below.

  • New noise types - you can now use perlin noise to get more natural look of branches.
  • T-Gen Manager - tool for managing your trees and plants. You can save and load presets, apply forces and randomize the look of plants. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0MBzAhTYgA
  • Powerfull free version


While build from scratch user interface and workflow stays mostly the same so migrating shouldn't be problem for anyone. To transfer plants from T-Gen into T-Gen 2 just save plant preset and then load it into T-Gen 2 using T-Gen Manager.

For limited time only you can now buy T-Gen only for 79 EUR !!! .

I would like to express my thanks to all betatesters for your great feedback and Milan Vasek for provided artwork.

Note: There is a bug in XSI 7.5 that prevent you from using more than 1 force. In older versions you can connect up to 100 forces.
