Ivy Generator

Ivy Generator grows ivy around an object. The object can be created in Bryce, then exported as OBJ. This object is imported into IvyGenerator. There are eight different adjustable grow parameters. The point from where the growth starts is defined on the imported object, the ivy starts to grow until stopped.

Then, the ivy has to be born (birth). There are another three adjustable parameters. The finished ivy is saved as OBJ along with the MAT (material) and imported into Bryce.

IvyGenerator is available for 32-bit Windows, Mac OSX and Linux — and is freeware. There are 4.2 MB (Win 32), 8.8 MB (Mac) or 2.9 MB (Linux) to download. The source files are contained in the packages. Additionally, I recommend to download the common texture file (7 MB) For Windows, there is no installation, just unpack the RAR with the folder hierarchy in any directory.

Export Format
The ivy created is exported into the following 3D format:

• OBJ Wavefront Object
• MTL Material
