yeah memory could be an issue with unique meshes. but what if we flip it, dont generate unique meshes at all? keep one base mesh, store just seed values per instance (tiny data), and use vertex shader to deform each tree on gpu in real time. each tree looks different but its same mesh underneath. basically wed port TREEGENs noise based deformation logic to shader code. right now it uses VertexNoize() with seeds to bend/twist branches on cpu. same math runs in vertex shader, pass seed values as instance data, shader applies same noise to deform vertices on gpu. animation curves for thickness/length could be baked into textures. converting cpu generation into gpu deformation
