Treeparameterize
Resamples and parameterises an input tree geometry, transferring attributes onto the resampled curves. Used to bring externally-authored or imported tree shapes into the parameterised form Natsura's downstream nodes expect.
Treeparameterize resamples and parameterises an input tree geometry, transferring vertex, primitive, and point attributes onto the resampled curves. Used when bringing externally-authored or imported tree shapes (curves from another DCC, hand-drawn skeletons, etc.) into the parameterised form Natsura's downstream nodes expect.
Parameters
Input
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Base Group | Group expression for selecting the input strands to operate on. |
| Group Type | Type of the group selection. |
Strands
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Resample | Resample mode. |
| Subdivide | Subdivision control. |
| Step Length | Target length per resampled step. |
| Smooth | Smoothing applied to the resampled strands. |
| Interpolate | Interpolation mode used during resampling. |
| Extend | Extension behaviour at the strand ends. |
Attributes
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Source Uv | Source UV attribute name. |
| Select Input / Vertex Attributes | Toggle and list for transferring vertex attributes. |
| Select Input / Primitive Attributes | Toggle and list for transferring primitive attributes. |
| Select Input / Point Attributes | Toggle and list for transferring point attributes. |
| Point Mode | Per-point handling mode for attribute transfer. |
| Transfer Skinning | Toggle for transferring skinning weights. |
| Input 1 already split | Toggle indicating that the input has already been split per-strand. |
Notes
- Set the resample mode and step length to match the granularity Natsura's downstream nodes need, then select which attributes to transfer before feeding the result into the decoration or simulation chain.
Switch
Conditional branching node. Routes growth to different subgraphs based on attributes, thresholds, or mappings.
Trunk Decoration
Specialised surface decoration for trunks, with enhanced UV and displacement controls. Mounts baked high-poly trunks onto the simulation's output and supports trunk extension.
