public class FractalTree extends eu.svjatoslav.aukio.e3d.renderer.raster.shapes.composite.base.AbstractCompositeShape
A fractal tree demonstrating hierarchical transforms in Aukio 3D.

The tree consists of a trunk and 3 level-0 branches. Each branch recursively contains 3 sub-branches (level-1), demonstrating how AbstractCompositeShape objects can be attached to each other.

Transform inheritance: Each branch has its own transform (position + rotation). When the tree is rendered, the engine propagates parent transforms to children via TransformStack. This means:

  • Level-0 branches are positioned relative to the trunk's tip
  • Level-1 sub-branches are positioned relative to their parent branch's tip
  • Parent wobble rotation automatically affects all descendants
  • Each level adds its own wobble, creating cascading animation

See Branch for the implementation of animated, recursive branching.

      Brown color for tree trunk and branches (50% transparent).

  • Constructor Details

    • FractalTree

      public FractalTree(eu.svjatoslav.aukio.e3d.geometry.Point3D basePosition, double trunkHeight, double trunkRadius)
      Creates a fractal tree with trunk and recursive branches.

      The tree has 3 level-0 branches, each with 3 level-1 sub-branches (total of 9 sub-branches). Each branch animates independently with random wobble, and children inherit parent motion via transform hierarchy.

      Parameters:
      basePosition - the position of the trunk base (on terrain surface)
      trunkHeight - the height of the trunk cylinder
      trunkRadius - the radius of the trunk cylinder
