It exports files in FBX and OBJ format. The resultant meshes are high resolution, and do pretty good in high res. renders.
If anyone has an iPad, this app is a no-brainer. If anyone is thinking about buying an iPad, this app is something any 3D artist might use to weigh the decision (BTW, I also have a decent Android tablet).
The attached tree rendering is a TreeSketch (OBJ) file downloaded from my iPad to iTunes -- to my PC, and rendered in Vue. I initially loaded the file into Carrara 8.1, as Vue (11 Infinite) seems to have crappy OBJ import filters -- the branches have much sharper angles than those on the iPad, or Carrara. So, I smooth the branches in Carrara, then export as a 3DS file.
One thing I also did was to initially load the OBJ file into Vue, adjust the leaves transparency slider from 100 to 0%, and reduce highlight. I then used the saved leaf image as the basis for a bump image.
For those, this might be a solution for those who already own an iPad 2 and above, and don't want to spend the absurd $$ for The Tree Factory, and have the TPF Designer version lock-out the export files in DRM fashion. It is, of course, excellent for any 3D application that can import 3DS or OBJ files.

cool
Once
in a while I look around,
I see
a sound
and
try to write it down
Sometimes
they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

We've just had a friend over with an Ipad, so I tried TreeSketch myself and I'm impressed by something that as free and yet so good. Does anyone know the license on this application? I've looked for it, but I can't find one anywhere. I'd like to know if I can use these trees in renders I do sell?

TreeSketch was created by Steven Longay, and I believe it's open source code. However, you might want to contact him, and discuss your commercial interests.
His contact information can be found here: http://vimeo.com/user7899797. I guess quite a few folks have pleaded with him to port this application to Android, Mac, and Windows.
I think he could do well financially if he were to develop it into a full-blown 3D vegetation modeler, and go commercial.

Thanks, I'll contact him. Though I must say it's very weird to have such an application without any license at all.
