I want to make two things :


1) An animated growing plant, nothing much just a vine that grows up a little and then the rest grows over the ground.


2) Put a texture on it that actually causes the model to have bumps when looking at it from the side (I want the stem that is growing to be warty and knotty without having to model little warts and knots)


Thanks

There was posted here some time ago, an ivy generator but I am not sure if it can be animated...:o

Not sure if the results are animatable but you can grow more than vines using THIS. (http://www.kurtz-fernhout.com/)

As far as bumpy/warty stems, use tS7's displacement brush.

It is interesting, even with Maya and Houdini, they were having problems with roots and vines :

Anyone come up with a great way to make them since this post?

Also, using TS6.6, so I don't have that tool, I don't think...
