Grow Curves
Grows a whole branching structure in from a single number.
grow, animate growth, sprout, unfurl, time lapse, life cycle- Category
- Emitters
- Outputs
- mesh
- Runs live in
- no target yet
One value from zero to one takes the structure from nothing to fully grown. It is a life cycle rather than a set of snapshots, so any value in between is a real stage.
A child cannot start until its parent has grown past the point it hangs off, so nothing is ever left floating in mid-air. Animate the one value and the plant grows.
Put it last in the curve chain, after the branching is built.
Inputs
| Socket | Type | Wiring |

This setting is also output sockets, so another part can read the number instead of repeating it: grow.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Available when | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grow | number | 1 | always | |
| Root Span | number | 0.6 | always | |
| Stagger | number | 1 | always | |
