If you wanted more customization in for example ... your TREE-PROCESS ...
create a few different trunks ... a few different mid-levels ... and then use color-cues as placment cues.
If I was to try to go head-to-head with a real tree generator ... I would fail miserably ... especially in this Wings manifold environment. What I have is a FIT-ON tool ... that you can make TREES with it ... is your choice .
But the request is thought provoking ... I mean ... if Wings3D and manifoldlab had a few things more .. it would be more well suited to your task.
1) Ability to FREEZE an asset to some more compact form rather than WEDS. Take a maleable object and call it finished. This would allow Wings3D to be more passive in its treat ment of the finalized thing and after a fashion ... just hold onto it for your graphics card.
2) Along the lines of (1) ... maybe an ability to stream finalized stuff into a much more robust render stream of some sort ... a scene stream / render stream of things that are camera ready.
Without something akin to te above ... tree-making is never gonna be sexy in Wings3D.
Well ... that's how I feel.
