How to animate tree branch growing ?

[mdee]

Hard to tell exact method without knowing what 3d app you use but...

- use animated extrude with automatic generated UVs or some kind of procedural shader
- deform by curve with scalling along the lenght of a curve (harder to get clean uvs)
- in maya you can use Paint FX there is a tutorial how to do it in the docs

Textures
- find out some kind of mixer node in your renderer (mix2layers in mr)
