  1. Hello, the Addon is fantastic, BUT I can not figure out how to change the height of the base splits (in Version 0.3.3).
    I tried everything without success. I want to move the base splits higher. How is that possible ?

  2. 1i have the same problem, when I open my tree project or save it I cant find the sapling panel..
    2. I need to export the tree to lightwave as studio max file. but in lightwave, I ONLY SEE the leave not the branches of the trunk.
    Help, please……………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Hey, Great tutorial although I have had some issues with the sapling addon. For some reason the shape roll down menu in the sapling parameters is "grayed out" and I can't seem to fix the issue with this. Anyone else having this problem or does anyone know a fix? I've also payed attention to the requirements said in tooltips for this. Thanks in Advance.

  4. Great tut, hope to see more from you.

    Just one question – how do you get so much leaves at the final step? I made a different trees few times, and last time followed up all your settings but still – looks like it generates for me around 1/5 of your leaves. I tweaked everything up but still didnt figured the reason.

  5. Good tutorial but one problem at 3:10 : the option to change the shape is there but it isnt, at least not in version 2.75. To fix this, go to branch splitting; levels has to be more then 2, so 3 will do and then you can change the shape.

  6. How do you make the "Presets" folder independent from the administrators permission?. I've tried different ways, but the error continues to pop up. Thanks for the tutorial in advance, it is really great and helpful.

  7. as soon as i do something else, like move the tree or select one other thing,  the "Sampling: add tree" disappears and i cannot find a way to see again the tool. May you help me?
