Tree with leaves.
Fractal methodology used the create branches from the trunk.
Some control explanations follow.
Foliage area: How far down from the top the tree is filled with leaves.
Branching height: How high up the branches start. At 0 they start below ground surface for a multitrunk look. At 100 they start at the very top.
Branch spread: You can think of it as tree width, how far the branches separate from each other.
Branch shift: At 0, the branches start symmetrically, other values offset the branches on different sides of the tree.
Branch start angle: The angle at which the branches stick out from the trunk or their parent branch. 0 is perpendicular (or more horizontal), 100 parallel (or more vertical). The branches bend in the opposite direction from the start direction.
Shading strength: Increase for a more 3-dimensional appearance.
