@hjf4a2 you need some help, bud

Here's how all ivy generators work: You add the ivy, it looks like a tiny blob You change the settings randomly just to play around, you get a tiny blob You change the gravity from 0.1 to 1, you get a tiny blob gravity from 1 to 100, you get a tiny blob Adhesion from 0.5 to 500, you get a tiny blob Primary weight from 0.5 to 2, you get a tiny blob Spam all the settings, you get a tiny blob

Yes I was able to totally cover a face with them, I just kept moving the source around and making more until they were everywhere. But I also duplicated the face, put the venom material on it, and wiped it on after the tendrils for more coverage

You could use this as a Boolean to subtract from a ground object potentially 🧐 might have to do a volume remesh which gets heavy

@Graphicalninja

Since it’s ivy-gen, you’d have to generate a new ivy and apply the same settings. There is a random seed in ivy gen, and an update ivy button in the 3D viewport, so you could iterate that way

I like where you’re going with this lol. Yes there is a way to skin the tendrils to a rigged mesh that I just discovered. You’d have to duplicate your Spider-Man mesh and put a displace modifier on it to push the faces outward, making sure it envelopes the tendrils completely. Then you can apply a mesh deform modifier to the tendrils and use the displaced mesh as the source. It’s not perfect but it works!

That looks good but my question is, how do you animate the leaves?! Forget about the whole "venom tendrils" thing, I want to animate ivy growth, but following what you're doing will essentially erase the leaves... what do I do lol

@Graphicalninja

Жыл бұрын

That would be a different tutorial lol, but there are ivy geo nodes projects by other creators that look cool. It would be another layer of instancing curves for stems and instancing leaves, then somehow linking leaf growth to the rest of the system. Once you learn the techniques you can do all kinds of procedural stuff reusing the same principles :)
