Just added that bias setting. Now you can make windswept trees: http://www.filosophy.org/projects/trees/#jwi3ouq0U

I like the idea of classifying trees by looking at the parameters of the branch structure -- I think that kind of approach would very well complement traditional computer vision methods.

Another thing that I've been wanting to play with is creating a 'forest' of these kinds of parametrizable trees and running a genetic algorithm to see what parameters win out in collecting "sunlight", etc. Could be fun, but would take a bit longer to make...

Very nice.

Forests could be cool...creating a genetic algorithm for such a forest could be a lot of work and lead to less interesting results than expected...
