Tried it in Viz 2008 too…works great!
Thanks for the heads up
Looks a great plugin. Have you noticed that you can animate the age parameter? :shock:
it’s cool 
thx
holy cow! Fanstastic!!!
shame its max9 only
Thats pretty damn cool!!
well it kind of works.
Just had max dissapear completely while trying it out.
I had that a lot at first, save often and when you get one that works just merge/copy it round. Only really happens when you change the settings a huge amount.
This was perfect timing, just before I came on a client had asked for ivy grown around an object. I came to kill time while thinking about how I could do it, and found this.
Looks really good mate.
If lele sees this he will be happy
CG: Mind sharing your settings for that Ivy? I’m having trouble getting it to nicely crawl up columns and then spread out like you have. I can get it to spread out on top but only if the column has a lot more branches on it than yours.
CG: are you working in mm and if so did you change the settings by 1 decimal place - can’t get leaves bigger than 20mm.
I fixed the small leaves problem by converting it to editable poly. Then choosing the leaves and scaling them up. Worked pretty good.
Thanks, I’ll give it a go.
Those are 20mm in that screen, but I do the same. Only with editable mesh, converting to poly seems to kill my branches.
The calculation was stopped and the settings changed when I got to the top of the column in order to spread them out more, so bear that in mind, but the ones to make it climb were:
35mm
.41
.49
.29
.73
.57
50mm
.15
500mm
95
4
The .15/branching one may need to be changed depending on your geometry, if it doesnt work get it up to around .5+
Thanks for the settings, I’ll try them out but I didn’t realize you could chang the settings and then continue, . This is a great way to do just what you came up with.
Turn on “Visible Edges” under “View” before converting to poly and your branches will show up.
just for the hell of it
codec?
EDIT: nvm its divx
ahh, could’nt you just make the animation last longer Da Elf…it’s soo nice!
ale
