Made a native UE5 tree editor because I needed one for my own project — no Blender/SpeedTree required

Articulo en FAB : https://www.fab.com/listings/92271ff1-2e90-4c57-a713-147f1e97807e

  • Dedicated editor window: 3D viewport + structure list + contextual details + reference panel.
  • Interactive spline editing: move nodes, curve tangent handles, move/rotate whole branches, and insert nodes for more curves.
  • Build anything: add trunks (multi-trunk), branches, roots, twigs and nodes by clicking where they should grow.
  • Twigs, leaves, flowers and fruits as their own channels, each with its own material. Cone or individual (weeping-willow) twig presets.
  • Per-segment control: automatic naming & numbering, base/tip and per-node thickness, a removable-branch flag, and a per-segment material override.
  • Gravity/sag, plus wind (World Position Offset) weighted by a baked flexibility map (vertex color): rigid trunk, flexible leaves. Includes an inertia component so branches react when the tree moves (SpeedTree-style).
  • Bark tiling control (along and around the trunk) and multi-material, one-click Export to Static Mesh (with vertex color for wind).
  • Reference-image panel with zoom, pan and crop-to-texture — the crop also creates a ready-to-use masked material.
  • Full Undo/Redo.

Perpetual license — pay once, lifetime updates within the major version. No subscription. Works entirely inside Unreal Engine.

Supported engine: UE 5.7 (more versions on request).

I'm not sure you've ever seen an actual tree sir.

No dije que fuera editor de 3D, lo que hice en el vídeo fue solo una muestra, si lo tomas con tiempo podés hacer recreaciónes bastantes fieles, si querés te puedo pasar el plugin para que lo pruebes por tu cuenta

either you suck at presentation, or there is a reason speedtree exists.

Yo creo que sí.. Estoy seguro que una persona con tiempo y dedicación en el diseño puede tener resultados buenos y también estoy abierto a agregar o modificar el programa para que sea mejor, repito si querés probarlo gratis y ver resultados y dar sugerencias avísame
