🌿 Ivy Generator — Documentation

Overview

The Ivy Generator is a Blender tool that procedurally grows climbing ivy on any surface.
It offers control over leaves, branches, flowers, and gravity, making it useful for architecture, game environments, and VFX.

🖥 Interface Overview

Found in the N-Panel → Ivy_Generator, the tool provides controls for snapping ivy to geometry, flower appearance, and overall growth settings.

🔗 Snap To

Defines where the ivy attaches:

• None — Growth occurs freely without snapping.

• Object — Ivy conforms to a single chosen object.

  • Target Object: Select the mesh (e.g., wall, rock, cube) where ivy will grow.

• Collection — Ivy conforms across all meshes inside a selected collection.

  • Target Collection: Choose a collection containing multiple objects; ivy will grow across them seamlessly.

🌸 Flowers Settings

Controls flowers that appear with the ivy:

• Color — Flower color, adjustable via color picker.

• Density — Amount of flowers (0 = none, 1 = very dense).

🌿 General Settings

Leaves Density

Controls how many leaves are distributed along branches.

• Lower values → sparse growth

• Higher values → lush foliage

Projection Strength

Defines how tightly ivy clings to the surface.

• 0 = free growth

• 1 = normal adhesion

• 1 = ivy strongly follows surface details

Branches Density

Number of main vines growing.

• Low (50–100) = light coverage

• High (200+) = dense overgrowth

Sub Branches

How many secondary branches split from each main vine.

• Low = simple structure

• High = detailed, complex ivy

Gravity

Simulates natural sagging of vines.

• 0 = no gravity

• 1 = realistic downward pull

• 1 = heavy drooping vines
