Kraut

Kraut tree

Kraut is a system for procedurally generating trees and other plants directly inside the ezEngine editor. Tree geometry is defined and edited through the Kraut tree asset.

Kraut Materials

Kraut uses three material types for different parts of a tree. Ready-to-use base materials are provided under Plugins/Kraut in the asset browser:

  • KrautStem — used for trunks, branches, and twigs.
  • KrautFrond — used for static leaf-card geometry.
  • KrautLeaf — used for camera-facing billboard leaves.

These materials should be used as the base material for custom tree materials. Each of them sets the appropriate asset filter tag (Kraut-Stem, Kraut-Frond, Kraut-Leaf), which is how the asset browser filters for compatible materials when assigning them in the tree asset.
