A lot of people are skeptical about the 3D art-creational capabilities of the iPad. Here is a rather impressive app that disproves that camp, producing generative art that looks like realistic trees you might find in the best of 3d simulators or even AAA games... which you can then export to fbx, taking it to both of the before!

The app is designed to be accessible to those who are not familiar with algorithmic botany - you can twist and pull some pretty unique and nice looking trees on this. But, if you know your maths, things can get even more interesting. ;)

Spent Christmas weekend playing with this iPad app (on a now-antiquated iPad 2), with both my finger and a Pogo Connect... and now I have a mini bonsai being 3D printed on Shapeways... created completely on my iPad! :D
