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

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.

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
