Oops, replied to the right person, wrong message, so you get the idea? I'll
contact the guy with the tree generator...

Hey guys, while looking through my old magazines for the Amiga I saw a
couple of issues of Ami Transactor (rember that one?) that had articles
on 3D object construction.  These articles were written by Eric Grahm
and his wife(?).  
 
One delt with generating fractal tree-like object for Sculpt.  I was
wondering if anyone had created some PD program that does somthing
similar.  Not having a C compiler I can't really generate the object
code myself.  So can some kind soul out there send it to me or tell me
an FTP site where I can get it?
 
Thanks....

The only program I've seen that creates fractal trees is 3D Professional..
I believe that's a $350 program..it was interesting..being able to control
the about of "branchiness" a tree had and what all..I saw this at a dealer
but never bought it as I own Imagine, Sculpt 4D, and a others too many
to list..I have never seen nor heard of a public domain program that
creates fractal trees in Video Scape, Sculpt, Silver format (any of which
would work fine for the others thanks to Interchange)..I have seen a 
public domain program that create 2D drawings of fractal trees..I believe
this is in the Fred Fish collection..if anyone *has* heard of such a program
it would be interesting to know where to locate such.
