Assembly Decoration

Place rigged parts from an assembly library on the tree, choose which part goes where with traits, and pose them with effectors while they stay instances.

The Assembly Decoration places rigged parts from an assembly library on the tree, and it is how foliage goes onto a tree in Natsura. Wire a library from Assembly Resource or Rig to Assembly into its first input, then assign it to the Grows whose branches should carry the parts.

  • Spawn at chooses the points that get a part: Tips, Intersections, Internodes and Roots, in any combination.
  • Traits choose which part from the library goes on each point, using a chart you place the parts on.
  • Transform and effectors pose each part. Effectors bend a part through its rig, so it stays an instance.
  • Mask and Prune thin the canopy.

Assembly Workflow covers building the library and using the decoration, and Your First Tree sets one up step by step.
