Instructions

  • for best results:
  • Enable the addon in the user preferences addons > add_curve section
  • Select the object you want to grow Ivy on.
  • Enter Edit mode & select a vert that you want the Ivy to spawn from.
  • Snap the cursor to the selected vert.
  • Enter Object Mode & with the object selected:
  • Shift/A menu Add_Curve/Ivy_Gen
  • This will generate your initial Ivy Curve & Leaves.
  • From here you can access the Ivy menu in the toolbar.
  • I suggest to make small changes & then press update ivy.

  • The addon interface is then found in the Tools panel.

Known Issues

  • In Blender 2.5 the scripts currently show up in the toolbar.
