Procedural generation always looks magical until you realize it's just a bunch of simple rules fighting for resources.

Pretty cool idea: "buds compete for light, the tree distributes a growth resource among them, and the successful ones produce new shoots. Those shoots change the light available for the next round. The crown shape emerges from this feedback loop."
I would never have thought to generate tree shapes by simulating real life

Nice to see another article from Mr Arion Render, always a pleasure. And of course posted by ibobev, always worth watching his HN submissions.
