upshot Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'm experimenting with a material to try to get the effect of Ivy growing on a system of wires... Is there a way to get the ivy bits to overlap and appear random on a surface?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upshot Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 that's interesting... not sure if I want to drop $200 on it though.. here is another approach: still not very convincing... arrg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upshot Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 I think i solved it... photoshop 'leafy paintbrush' > export paths to illustrator > export dwg > import in viz > extrude > apply leafy material = vola! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upshot Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 It's definately over the top poly wise... I suppose I could get the same effect with a opacity map... Now that I think about it... duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
