Global controls

Directions: how many compass headings branches can grow toward.
Spacing: how tightly branches pack together — higher values leave more air between them.
Max generations: how many times the tree branches before stopping. All regrow live.

Growth Genes

Sunshine makes branches grow upward.
Bunching encourages splitting into all directions simultaneously.
Turn bias makes one direction persistently favoured.
Splitting controls whether branches prefer to be alone or in a cluster.
Turning controls whether branches prefer to continue straight or turn sharply.
Bulbs: chance to sprout a circular growth instead of branching further.
Each gene can be modulated to apply more strongly near the tips or the trunk.

Makeup

Base width controls how thick branches are relative to their length.
Branch lengths shrink as you go deeper — adjust to make the tree feel bushy or spindly.
Outline adds a contrasting border around branches; set to 0 to remove it.
Dots and bezier tension only apply in smooth mode.
