New tool (not released yet) for 3D Trees and Plants

Time to time I search the internet for new and interesting scripts and plug-ins. I'm very interested in creating 3d plants and trees creating and i found something really interesting.
3 days ago i found this page:
http://www.kinematiclab.com/#!tree-painter/c1cfk
and here is a research&development blog with other tools made by the same author:
http://rauquenrol.over-blog.com/pages/maxscripts-3995278.html
There are only few scripts released, rest of them are still in development. My favourite (i can't wait to release!!!) is TreePainter, SplinePush modifier and SnowGUN. I hope that author will release these scripts in near future because it's brilliant pack of scripts:) I hope price will be nice (we know that coding is a long and hard work) :)
TreePainter looks like small brother a SpeedTree and SnowGUN is very useful for architectural visualisations with many details. And you can check some awesome tools for rigging at www.kinematiclab.com. Check this link to get few professional scripts for free:
http://www.kinematiclab.com/#!riggingtools/c1neo - (icons with FREE sign). 
Sir Clovis - we are waiting for Your commercial scripts:)
