      Thanks Pierre, Could this be the new 'Fur'?

      I havent realy seen the connections before now, but i guess this algorithm is sort of like "fur branching of furs". I believe tha changes needed for this to behave as fur is minimal! brb

                  Thats not good. I would really appreciate it if you could PM me the error message you get in the ruby console (Window - Ruby Console)

                    Hi Pierre,

                    Great plugin. We normally add the [Plugin] tag to the title to help search/identify plugins. Just edit your original post. You can also edit the original when you update version numbers so members can see it's been tweaked.

                    Great to have you around SCF πŸ‘

                      Thanks.

                      Okay it works fine. I will wait for the leaves however as at moment it looks like a growing spider. πŸ’š

                      A GUI would be awesome and if qnything like Ivy generator which can follow a profile like an arch would also be brilliant, as well as gravity/adhesive controls

                      Great start.

                        Very interesting project. πŸ‘ I'll give it a whirl when I get time and maybe poke about in the code. Ivy generator is something I've wished I had on several projects.

                          Hi Pierre and indeed it seems to be a very exciting project. πŸ‘

                          I've been making ivy with the fur plugin so far but a more straightforward and "real" ivy generator would be much better of course!

                          Any chance to attaching the file straight to the first post though? Some member have issues with this, others with that file hosting services (some are not accessible in certain countries) etc.

                          (Surely I cannot tella script author where to host his plugin - just suggestions for easier use)

                          Gai...

                              Very interesting start. Just to get the coder's cog wheel whirring; you realise of course that a random growth generator has implications way beyond just ivy? Especially if it has a GUI that allows you to control variables like the upper limit of vector change, the amount of branching and taper, number of segments per limb etc.
                              Obviously, Follow Me won't follow a branching path...but there is a Max plugin called Branches that generates a single, random, tapering limb. What you then do is click on a joint higher up; and it shoots off another branch, taking the overall scale of this offshoot to be based on the now (reduced) diameter of the original limb at that point. Now that would be really something. πŸ˜‰

                              [Edit} 20 minutes, 1 cup of coffee and 1 V-Ray render later. This is a very useful plugin, even in it's early stages.ivy.jpg

                                Wow. Thanks for all the replies!

                                @Gaieus: Of course. But is it possible to attach a rar file directly to the post?

                                @Alan: Yes. That seems brilliant! (one day πŸ˜‰ It really seems like this Ivy algorithm has a lot of potential (way beyond ivy). And in regards to what you said about gui, this is what i have in mind.It is scene-aware and quite easy to customize. Last night I rewrote a chunk of it , added an external force (wind, comming from the sun) and tried to make it a bit more aware of the scene. After some tweaking it realy looks like a good Fur plugin - (screenshots below). I guess it wouldnt be too hard to make it in to a tree growing algorithm og even combine these into a powerpack of branching awesomeness. πŸ‘

                                  Yes - under the textbox when you write a post there is an "Upload attachment" tab where you can upload files.

                                      And I have just checked; the extension "rar" is also allowed (I thought maybe that's the problem).

                                          Hi,

                                          Very interesting. Two remarks/questions: lots of branches have their faces reversed. Do you think this will be fixed in a future release ?
                                          Do I have to play with the parameters to make it 'grow', as it seems to 'fall' more than to climb ?
                                          Regards,

                                            Hi,
                                            A very interesting plugin, i have used Ivy Generator by Thomas Luft but it's better if you can make ivy into Sketchup directly.
                                            I use Mac and the plugin don't works on OSX, i hope that you can solved this problem.
                                            Bye and congratulations for this promising plugin. πŸ‘

                                            This is a unfinished old project, i would like make this into SU directly.
