Anytree is a free Blender add‑on that creates a 3D tree from a modeled shape or curve drawing. It adds leaves, twigs, UVs and bark materials, uses controllable quad topology, and keeps the mesh and foliage separate for rigging or simulation.

About Anytree – Trees With Any Shape
Anytree, developed by Bad Normals, is a Blender add‑on that generates a complete 3D tree from an approximate shape you model or draw with curves. Over 40 hand‑modelled leaf and twig variations and bundled bark materials are included. A set of parameters lets you refine the tree’s form, while a single‑click UV tool adds correct UV maps. The mesh uses optimized quad topology, and the tree body and foliage remain as separate objects, enabling rigging or physics simulation. The add‑on supports Blender 4.4 through 5.0, is distributed under an MIT license, and the developer states that updates will remain free.

Best for
Blender artists who need to generate custom trees or bushes from their own shapes and require separate foliage for rigging or simulation.
Frequently asked questions
Does Anytree work with Blender 4.4 to 5.0?
Anytree is listed as compatible with Blender versions 4.4 through 5.0 and is marked as a Blender Extension. It should work without additional steps on builds within that range.
What’s included when you get Anytree?
The add‑on includes more than 40 hand‑modelled leaf and twig assets, a set of bark materials, and a tutorial that covers all aspects of using Anytree.
Can Anytree trees be rigged or simulated in Blender?
Yes. The tree mesh and leaf objects are kept separate, and the generated mesh uses controllable quad topology, allowing both rigging and physics simulation in Blender.
