Here a little tutorial made by dobermunk on CGtalk
Basic usage: navigate with LMB, RMB and ctrl.
1) load an obj (start with the wall included in download)
2) double-click anywhere to determine the seed position
3) click on grow
4) watch it grow
5) when its done, click on birth

Cheers

Hey Jeong-ho, you deleted your post before I could respond, anyway

what I see now is that you need to import an object and double click a point on the object to start the growth

[sandykoufax]

Yes, at first I couldn't doing this.

But now my IVY growing.

Anyway, the growth speed is really slow.

[NicoR44]

Ah, ok

This is just to cool!!

[Leonardo]

faster than real lfe or modeling by hand for sure.........

It's way fun .........

Now I just have to make a clipped MXM for it .......

In rhino it imports as a group that has to be well, ...ungrouped. 2 objects, ..branches and leaves.

Pretty simple.

Hey Sandy ......

Did you mess with any of the settings, ..... the growth is quite fast over here and I'm not using the 8 core . Actually this particular machine is slower than yours ..... hmmm....

[sandykoufax]

My ivy is still growing.

[Leonardo]

press the grow button one more time to make it stop


Mine grows faster than medical bills

Also, when I explode my ivy in maya..... it explodes every single leave and it's a big mess
