I like the growing Vines part, just wondering if this can be accomplished in TS6.6?

There is a fantastic freeware generator that does all that job nicely and you can even watch it grow !

Its Ivy generator

http://graphics.uni-konstanz.de/~luft/ivy_generator/


Its absiolutly fantastic and there are a few nice tutorials in the web !;):)

The missing link for Ivy Generator would be a multi-frame obj importer, I imagine.

Or some kind of advanced morphing..... with some morphing steps !

Or you do the oject changes manually.

depends on how long your animation is !

If its only 3-4 seconds you could get some good quality with about

25 file changes for the whole animation.The trick is to not delete the previous

obj but use it as a guide to place the next. Actually pretty fast.

You could even cheat and do just some scaling steps in between so you get less obj changes !

This effect could be duplicated by using a model side standalone deformation object and then moving the vine cylinders through it.

Pretty cool stuff and thanks for the link DavidJohnson! :)
