MC Worldkit has released IvyTaming, a new digital asset for Houdini that allows the user to grow, style, and animate ivy from point seeds on any closed polygonal object. In addition to the procedural growth features you’d expect, the tool also allows the user to control growth by customising the curves and painting masks. Several other advanced features include the ability to distribute non-intersecting leaves, the ability to use any geometry for leaves and many more customisable attributes. IvyTaming costs $49 from Gumroad and you can watch a teaser video on Vimeo.
