feat: Flower node

Hi! Your generator is amazing and I think a flower node would be incredible.

The parameter I imagine are :

  • number of petals
  • length of petals
  • width of the base of petals
  • width of the tip of petals
  • color of the petals
  • angle of petals from the stem

What do you think about it ?

This is a really good idea!
Given that we already have a shape node how about simplifying your suggestion down to:

"petalCount":number
"petalShape":shape
"color":color
"angle":number

First of all, thank you for the idea! I have been thinking about something like this for some time now...

The only thing that may be a bit hard to implement is the color, because that is not yet handled anywhere else...

I am still not quite sure if it is better to create a separate "Instance Along Stem" node, which could instance flowers, leaves, nuts, fruits, etc... along a stem, or to give each of them separate nodes that handle the creation of the model and the instancing both... Any thoughts/feedback on that?

I personally like the flexibility and antuhenticity of an instance along stem node.

It would also be great if it could either take an array of elements `flower|fruit|leaves| etc. in as sometimes you get a few things growing from the same area....aside from coding I tend to my garden regularly and nature does amazing things along the stem ...
