A procedural modeling workflow for "Over the Hedge" foliage

Workflow begins with the internally developed Procedural Modeling Toolkit (PMT) software. The PMT user chooses a growth algorithm from a library constructed by FX developers and R&D staff. The user interactively adjusts parameters and executes the algorithms thus constructing foliage. The Python interpreter and some necessary extensions embedded within the PMT application execute the modeling algorithms and the command line interface. PMT maintains the resulting hierarchical database of transform lists.
