you are welcome , and myself i must thank Pierre for a great plugin . This textures can be improved, especially the roses, and i realise that some axis should be changed, the leaves tend to hang in the same direction, but i ll work on it and post a better version in the next days .

After playing with "An Ivy Generator"(found here) I thhought about how awesome it would be to be able to play with something like this directly in Sketchup. I therefore started to port the ivy generator to ruby and Sketchup. As i now have working code with regards to the main parts of the algorithm, collition detection, adhesion and the growing of the ivy branches, i decided to post a proof of concept.

Usage
-Select "Sketchup Ivy 0.5" in the Plugins sub-menu
-Adjust Parameters in Menu
-Every time you click your left mouse button, the ivy will grow
-CTRL-Click for leafs (repeat as many times you want)
-When you're happy with the ivy Shift-click to make it into actual volumes.

VERSION 0.6
UPDATE 12.05.2011
-Tooltip
-Minor bug fixes
-Additional parameters.

VERSION 0.5
UPDATE 09.05.2011

• Will now use components with "ivyleaf" in the name as leafs. 3 included by default.
• Hopefully better mac support
• Small algorithm changes
• ALT+click to make ivy grow towards pointer
  - Thea users: uncheck 'export as components' before exporting. (Thanks Solo)
  Fix 0.5.2
• Tool startup fix (maybe?)

VERSION 0.3
UPDATE 05.05.2011

• Simple gui. (More parameters to come)
• Leaves
• Speed and reliability
• I know theres some issues with mac. As i haven't had the opportunity to debug on a mac, im not sure if its working now. Mac users with issues are very welcome to PM me or write here. (Guess this goes for everyone with issues, im sure there is lots ).

VERSION 0.1.5
UPDATE 28.04.2011
[Uploaded buggy file !! Sorry]

• Added Wind (comming from the position of the sun atm)
  -Bug fixes

VERSION 0.1
UPDATE 27.04.2011

• Faster Preview
• Better Ivy "Resolution"
• Faster and more reliable volume generation (less buggsplats?)
• Face normals should now be oriented correctly
• More reliable collision detection
• A few bugs in the force algorithms fixed.
• Works as before. Edit the values in Plugins/SketchupIvy/setup.rb

TO COME

• Leaves as Components
• More Parameters and grow patterns.
• Other Plugins. Fur, Cloth and Tree.

Notes

• Never shift-click when there is more than 150 branches (information in the ruby console). This will often cause a bugsplat (seems like sketchup realy, realy, realy doesn't like programmaticaly adding of entities or seemingly infinit loops )
• For the adhesion to work, you have to be in the same scope (i made this to clearify (face.classify_point seems buggy)
• This script has only been tested in SU8. As far as i know this script might cause bugsplat infernos and generally fuck shit up in other versions
• If you find any bugs or problems please PM me If you're extra awesome attach the error description from the ruby console.

Any suggesions, comments or crits are very much welcome!

Peace
Pierre
