i can't get the ivy to show up though, it loads the obj fine, but when I hit grow or birth nothing happens

[Costaud]

Same for me.

you need to double click somewhere on the scene to "plant" a seed

You have to double-click at the base of your tree, wall or where ever you want the Ivy to start growing.
Basically you are giving the ivy a root to start from.  Once you have done that then you can click grow, let
the vine grow until you think you have enough on the tree then click grow again to get it to stop.  Now you
can click Birth, you may have to adjust the leaf and branch size and click Birth again until it looks the right size.

Excellent find!

[Sethren]

Yeah, the results look great. I have to wonder if there is going to be any more development in this region but knowing university work, these normally are one time wonders.

Is this a stand alone program that you import your object into first?
Looks pretty neat. I'm at work so I don't have time to play but if someone could explain the mechanics, I'd appreciate it as I'm a model dummy.

Wow. The ivy looks cool!

[Sethren]

Yes, you import any object and the Ivy just grows up and along the object.

just a warning to you guys those the exported file gets pretty big.
