  • This is very clean & creative project I planted a couple of trees of different names & symbols the one with constant reptition of characters are attractive especially when you can see a unique pattern
    by Invictus1001
  • Thanks, Invictus1001! I use a deterministic algorithm to convert a name into a tree, so the same input always generates the same result. I'm glad you enjoyed exploring the different patterns—repeated characters often create some particularly interesting structures!

  • I love the procedural trees, I was wondering if I should use the seals as a logo for some of my open source projects.

    Great work!

  • Thanks, elnatro. And yes, of course! The “seals” are made with a project I built called APack. You can try it here: https://apack.bairui.dev/

  • Very simple and beautiful! I planted a couple too.

    I wish I could zoom in further to get closeups of trees and names and the mountains.

    All the same it's very nice!

  • Hi yardshop, thanks for the kind words and the wonderful suggestion. I just updated the project so you can zoom in much further than before. Feel free to try it again!

  • Planted a tree! However I thought palindromes or anadromes might have some symmetry but it wasn't showing up in the tree.

  • It’s a creation done in a way I hadn't imagined. It’s a great idea, and I liked the way it was executed. I hope there will be a wider variety of wood types available in the future so we can choose!

  • Thanks, twosky! That's a really interesting idea. I'll play around with it and see where it leads!

  • This is so cool! Could you add a feature to export my tree as an svg please? Would love to put it on my git profile !
    by rdksu
  • Thanks rdksu. This means a lot to me. I just added the download feature. Now you can download your name as a PNG or SVG!
