Hi Imran,
I really don’t understand the idea of avoiding Splines.
Could you please elaborate why? I’m certainly game to explore this, but without know why the limitation is set, I need to know it, otherwise I might invest time to create something that is also excluded.
Splines and Trees/Branches:
• Particles in Tracer = Spline
• MoSpline’s Turtle tree (a default in C4D) = Spline
• Splines in any shape, scale based on Rail Spline = Spline
• Any spline in Volume with fields = Spline
• Hairs is practically based on a form of Splines = Spline

Particles R10-R19, doesn’t work in R20 based on COFFEE

With all these excluded, I can only suggest to use the various plug-ins or even applications to produce a tree or branches.
Otherwise, this could have been a full parametrically tree if Splines would be allowed.

My best wishes.
