Easy Ivy 1.0

[Roland]

Hi,

is there a demo 'Easy Ivy 1.0' for the plugin maybe?
I would like to know the leaves and branches through walls grow or high only to them, without to penetrate, as it makes the free IvyGrower...
It is so incredibly annoying, if you covered a House with Ivy leaves and IN the House is half of it.

Hi Roland

sorry but no demo is available for our plugins

I would like to know the leaves and branches through walls grow or high only to them, without to penetrate, as it makes the free IvyGrower...

No easy ivy does not penetrate the leaves into the polygon house, you can control many parameters for the leaves distribution and also if you want a beautiful effects you can use a simple smooth surface where place the leaves. It depends on your camera angle.

Of course inside the easy ivy manual all tricks are explained and you can understand how to take the best from the plugin.
Also if you need assistance feel free to write me on the forum like you do now or send me an email.

Thx für Answer....


My 2. Question is:

The 'easy Ivy 1.0' has Render Instances?

[masterzone]

Hello I'm Alex.

EasyIvy doesn't generate instances but poly faces and with alpha channel texture you can make leaf with a very light objects.
With leaves inside the directory of the plugin archive give you the possibility to make all kind of leaves and the poly face generated by EasyIvy has the uvw relaxed so you can use whole kind of self made leaf by making a square leaf with alpha channe mat.

[cappellaiomatto]

No easy ivy produces a polygon object based on leaf object

Example:

If leaf is a polygon with 10 faces and easy ivy generates 100 leaves the final object will be a polygon with 1000 faces

The uv map of final object is aligned like the leaf object, it's like put all leaves each on top of the other

This means then, use sparingly, otherwise C4D is unbearably slow, what happened to me with the Grass Painter 2nd 32 GB of RAM are nothing: (

Can you perhaps render the grass Painter create instances? Otherwise you can use for very small lawns only.

As masterzone told you we use alpha leaves that are very light weight

Remember that cinema handles better a polygon with 10000000 faces than 1000000 polygon with 1 faces o 10000000 instances

Can you perhaps render the grass Painter create instances? Otherwise you can use for very small lawns only.

It depends on grass complexity, grasspainter create a grass mantle with blades on each square centimeter more or less.
If you have got a square 1 meter x 1 meter you obtain 100x100 blades

If you need to make a very big grass mantle you can make square 1x1 or 2x2 and than clone it with mograph or instance...it's a good way to optimize scene

[masterzone]

if you watch the video of the grasspainter2 workflow, I fill 7m x 10 m with two or three layer on a notebook with 4 GB of ram and a i5 processor.
What kind of surface did you filled with grass painter? how much big is it?

Can you give me the Link to the Video?

I just looked the video, which is below the plugin in to see how it works.

My Grass area is 45 m x 60 m.

I tried it with the Cloner, but it still tore the performence in the basement ...

Grass could this topic be moved please? I will buy the Ivy Creator and here it is done.

My Grass area is 45 m x 60 m.

your grass area is big so here some advices to optimize scene and avoid system collapse


editor mode:

1)use only low poly grass blades
2) do not use flowers, make a custom low poly flowers with an alpha plane
3) put a tag display on the grass object and set visibility properties to low detail, it avoids editor speed down
4) try to make a grass square 10x10 or 7x7 or 5x5 meters and clone it

rendering:
use tag compositing on the grass object and try disable gradually the GI option
gi that bounces on a complex polygon like the grass object may be extremely heavy for CPU and Memory


make some try and let me know
