- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- In today’s video, we’re going to check out a free add-on contained inside of Blender 2.83 that allows you to quickly generate custom trees inside of Blender! Sapling Tree generator is an add-on that comes built-in to Blender for helping you to quickly create trees and leaves, as well as setting up the UV mapping properly so you can quickly add textures as well!

• The FASTEST Way to SET...
Enable - File - Preferences - Sapling Tree Gen
Adding a tree - shift A, curves, sapling tree
This pops up a menu for editing your tree - note that if you click off of this, it will go away. You might be able to get it back with F9, or maybe not. Best to try not to click off of it.
Adjusting Branches - size, layouts, etc - I’d start with a preset
Leaves - add check box - come in UV mapped
Adjust with UV mapping - easy
Trunk - object - convert to - mesh from curve
Hi everyone! Let me know about your favorite tree add-ons and resources in the comments below! :)
sir I am in class 7th I live in india now I created lots of sean from this trees thank you soo much sir I subscribed your channel too thank you sir
Awesome! Glad you're using it! :)
I'm really late in seeing this but I love it when people make comprehensive tutorials, it's perfect for the skill level that's required to use it. Rock on 🎉
I've never found a tutorial that is as easy to understand, useful, and accurate as those produced by The CG Essentials. Thanks for saving me time and for sparing me from unnecessary grief! You're amazing!!!
A Bonnie Tree!!!
I laughed so hard when you clicked the button and she appeared as leaves. But this was exactly what I was looking for, so thank you!
For those of you wondering why Ctrl + shift + T at minute 7:26 , it's because in the new version you have to set it up manually. Go to the add-ons and search for "Node Wrangler" and enable it. Now the command should work ^^

TYSM!!!
i love u haha, thanks
I have my 'Node Wrangler' ON.
For some reason, the Ctrl+Shift+T command doesn't work!! 🥲
Ur a trully goat
I know this video has been up for a year but I needed to start somewhere. So, I decided to save your vids to a playlist so I can binge-watch all of your videos to learn about Blender. Thank you for posting your knowledge
Thank you for making real content and not clickbait. I appreciate your work.
I love the energy of your tutorial by the way. It's very welcoming and friendly. Keep up the good work. You earned another subscriber.
You can also use the "Leaf Object" drop down to add your own leaf shape to the tree. For instance, if you wanted to use "Images as Planes" to get a cool looking leaf texture to add to your tree.
While it may have been an error, that tubular tree actually gave me an idea! Going to have to play around with this feature. Didn't even know it was a thing as I'm very new to Blender. Stayed away from 3D for many years but now I'm looking on how I can incorporate it into my artwork. Thank you very much for the tutorial!
Thank you, good resource! Didn't expect finding it. Needing only a single simple tree today, this is a huge time saver, and then some! It is happily appreciated. I will learn more. Thanks!
I'm creating a game that takes place in my neighborhood and uses real video footage of pathways, buildings, etc. And it also uses 3D and 2D game engine elements (BabylonJs and Construct 3). I kept thinking that I wanted to do fairly realistic top-down "drone" footage of the area without using a real drone, and started creating a cityscape and landscape using BlenderGIS and the built-in Blender-OSM addons--all working beyond my expectations. The only thing that was missing was realistic trees and bushes. Using your tutorial, I started adding a few pine trees, and I can't believe how much it breathes life into the scene. Thanks for the tutorial!
Glad it helped! :)
Justin, I love your channel. This video was particularly helpful. Thank you
ok you earned a sub. straight to the point without any BS in between. great job
God bless all blender pioneers!!!!!! Thanks for the great tutorial as always!!!!!!!!!
:)
Had Nooo idea Blender had this add ons integrated.
Thanks for the tutorial! 👌👌
learning more and more every day, thank you for creating these Videos, so people like me can learn the software
You are becoming my go to guy form blender. Thanks
Wonderful, straightforward tutorial. Thank you! It's really amazing that this is built into Blender. You explained the workflow really well.
Glad it was helpful!
great delivery, keep it up bro
We should share this video to save the planet
im surprised for the addon called tree gen, and i dint know it exist, i was struglling making my own tree, by doing a lots of thing. but this addon helps me.
More of this would be amazing
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for your great work: every video is a solid step forward in my skills. You are my 3D-Hero. I wish you all the best.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the lessons mate! You have a lot of interesting content on this channel, presented in a very clear way. You are doing a great job sharing knowledge to beginners like me!
GREAT VIDEO informative, well spoken, no unnecessary blabla :) very good :) You have a new subscriber :)
and it works :)
Glad it helped!
Really useful and well explained.
It is just unfortunate that cannot recover the Tree Creation, Editing Menu, after deselecting the Object, as would be nice to change tress after seeing textures etc.
Wow, that's so great! And you can learn a brand new mechanism of creating trees! Thamk you!
i just want that dog model - thank you for your videos
made my life lot more easier thanks alotttt
...didn't know about the tree add-on - great tutorial thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank goodness! I'm so glad I found this video! Much easier than starting from scratch
Glad it helped!
Thank you, Justin! Just what I needed. That addon is quite powerful! Good explaination.
Thank you sooooo much for this tutorial. You always do such a good job. 👍
Thank bro continue to do the good work ❤
Just subscribed! You're the man!!
Welcome!
Love your tutorials, they're very helpful for discovering new tools
Glad you like them!
Love your videos. You're great at explaining things!
Amazing! Blender just blows my mind everyday!
:)
Awesome tutorial, you are the best!
This was a very helpful tutorial! THANK YOU!!!🙌🏻🔥🔥🔥
Helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for this video, you are amazing! : )
Glad it was helpful!
The addon looks really good, I have to try. :)
It's good stuff! :)
this box (1:09) appears gray and I can't edit anything, does anyone know how to solve it?
nice! thank you! didnt know this add on was included!
No problem!
hey do you have any idea of how i could convert it back to a curve because id like to keep the armature animation thing intact, I'm just looking for a way to uv unwrap the tree without removing the animations
Thanks! This helps me to understand this add-on a little better.
For now, I have a flat-shaded simple tree. I can experiment with textures/displacements another time, but it's got me started at least. ^_^
Excellent!
this will help me so much, thank you°
didn't know this addon existed x3
It's a fun one!
How did you make different colors for the trunk and leaves?
you are a legend
Lol - glad you liked it!
Tysm!🙂
Thank you so much! Very Helpful
Great tutorial
Thank you!
THX, 10:28: expect that bark texture structure (black strips) is vertical instead of horizontal
Well that's the great thing about this add on - with the UV mapping, it's easy to make that change :)
@@TheCGEssentials planned - ok
Great tutorial, thanks a lot!
A nice tutorial would be exporting an animated tree in UE4 and have it animated there. Anyone any hint? Thx!
Reeeeally nice add and explanation, thanks a bunch!
Fantastic, I bought a tree for $7 but found it had too many verts, my computer couldn't handle creating a forest scene with the geometry nodes. Using this will give me a better result with realistic leaves for free.
Great. Thanks, man.
Very good!
how can i import or disribute properly leaves dont come with trees when i try. i m trying to create some forest
Amazing video! Thanks!
Awsome! Is there any tutorial about creating movement to the trees?
is it possible to create a forest with this using array? thanks
leaves end up black I had it one time was messing with the uv map. Then I wanted to change the tree, so I had to delete it. Then every time after that the leaves be black after adding the shaders and uv map is gone.
Very helpful.
nice tutorial, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Thank you very much for the video!
It seems to be a really powerful tool. From what I can see when I played around with it a while ago, it will generate bushes and even grass stalks and smaller plants. My experience was it is too general. When all you want to do is generate trees...it takes a lot of fiddling to get trees and not something that looks like a tree-sized bush. It might just be the interface and my skill level with it. But I would rather the default model looked like a tree or a bush or a plant, rather than the love child of all three and then making you define it in sliders. Also would have liked to see it be better at generating logs and stumps but that might be too much to ask. For me, any real forest should have all different life cycles of trees in it. It would also make sense to include some material libraries in it, eventually.
It has a bunch of presets you can start with...
Sorry if i missed, is this bundled with blender? Great video btw
Yep
Great tuto thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I had no problems with the leaves, but when I do the Ctr +Shift+T on the tree trunk for the bark I get an error No Matching Images Found. I'm not able to convert Mesh to Curve as it only states Convert to Mesh. Any ideas?
It gives me the same problem...Did you solve it in the end?
@@TheSilentGecko7 No, I wasn't able to.
Rename the files
@@kevinbethlehem8921 rename them to what?!?
@@reykenj7752 bark1_color, bark1_displacement, bark1_normal, bark1_roughness
It looks very handy. But I think leaves would look better when we add them as volumes (when we need a low poly tree)
Great videos for Blender - concise, to the point! Good stuff! You should have more subs my friend - stay with it!
Thank you! :)
How to convert leaves for mesh??
I do not understand! TY
your a legend!
Thank you!
Thanks i just learned in one click how to get back tree settings i lost
and its gone forever.... :{ how to get back settings pls help
thanks you veeeeery much
You're welcome!
can you make a video about making revit tree family from blender? Blender geometry to DXF then import to revit, but I lost the material in this process.
how back to settings is I for example make too small leaf and want resisze?
You'll have to re-run the add-on
Awesome!
thanks!
This is great
brilliant video....thanks
Glad you liked it!
theres a million videos about this add on but none show how the animation works and how you save it to the model, isnt there a way to bake it to the model?
Thanks!
Free...😆'yay!
I was using this add on , but my menu is gone , I press the F9 , but still not show to me the menu , it was change by the new version ??
do you know how to show the menu again in Blender V3 ???
what about alpha transparent settings for leaves?
When I click Control + shift + T, nothing comes out. how can i fix this?
Enable Node Wrangler?
Hi, I'm new in blender, and I have quick question to ask,
how do I delete tree preset that I ever made in this addon?
thank you for helping me !
I LOVE YOU. You are my angel!~
it was not clear with leaves texture. we got several kind of leaves forms and colors in color texture, how to make them all different? how to adjust geometry in everyone?
I wouldn't try to make every single leaf difference - what would the purpose be? You could select some of the leaves and change their UV mapping separately if you really wanted to I guess
@@TheCGEssentials i think it would add a lot of variation and realism to have the leaves be slightly different shades of green. I had planned on making a procedural texture with a color ramp but am unsure on how to feed it each individual leaf :/
Hello! Can I know the link for downloading the add-ons? Thankyou:)
This one should be built into Blender I believe
@@TheCGEssentials Thank you for the info :) I'm a beginner in blender so your answer and tutorials have been really helpful
there is no icon in mesh n new version ..
I don't know what this means
@@TheCGEssentials what a mesh!
thank you Justin
MENU PROBLEM is now fixed by simply pressing F9 as stated in the video.
Hover your mouse over the menu and it wont disappear. If u remove your mouse, it will reappear once u hover again. Hope this helps!
nice explain
There's no add tree option on the add object > curve in the new version.
Nvm - got it
What can I do if the left side menu does not pop up immidiately and nor can I open it up with f9? (i am not clicking away from the tree)
did you find the solution? it doesn't open for me
