Procedural generation of simple 3D models of trees

In this project, I explored procedural generation in MATLAB. I designed a script that can be used to procedurally generate a geometric model resembling a natural tree with branches and leaves. I explored two methods of tree generation and eventually chose the method that was the most true-to-life and therefore produced the most accurate representation of a tree.

I designed a graphical interface to allow parameters to be modified and the effects of these modifications to be quickly seen on the screen.

Finally, I attempted to model a coniferous tree with radial branches in the same script I was already using to create trees with forking branches. The result of this attempt leaves room for improvement but I thought it sufficient for low-fidelity animation.
