Growing Vine with Strands and ICE
Hi!
I am by no mean an ICE expert, but to push my knowledge a bit further I self imposed a little challenge: build a vine that grows on some geometry. You can see the final result here.
I have gathered the steps I took to get the result in a PDF tutorial, in case you are interested. It can be found here. That's only my take at it and all comments are welcome

Re: Growing Vine with Strands and ICE
Thank you very much, stuff like this is always great for the community!
Re: Growing Vine with Strands and ICE
Many Thanks Claude!
Any chance you could provide an example scene too?
The pdf is good for the theory-but I find that several of the images isolate the branches of your ICETree a bit too much. And there is nothing showing the Tree complete. So even having some idea what you are saying and having some ICE knowledge (but still learning) I find it a bit tricky to get valid results so far. Even in the early steps.
So I’d imagine an ICE novice should get quite lost. Reverse engineering (a finished scene) can go a long way.
many thanks again

Nice tool, thanks or sharing! (took me 4 years to notice = )
Re: Growing Vine with Strands and ICE
Hi, a question:
I'm trying to pack the vine generator into a model for easy re-use, but the leaves cease to work then (branches are good). Looks like they remain at size 0. If I pull them back out, they grow properly again.
Any idea why? I'm checking all the get data nodes in the ICE tree, but cannot find the reason.
Thanks!
Eugen

Re: Growing Vine with Strands and ICE
Allow me to give this a bump...
It would be very handy to have this example in a model, so it can be added quickly to a scene.
Problem is, that the leaves point cloud does not work properly any more when it is put into a model. I guess some name space problem.
My ICE knowledge is not profound enough to fix this - I tried.
Many thanks if anybody likes to have a look...
Best,
Eugen

Re: Growing Vine with Strands and ICE
yo raps, man, i`ve found a workaround of this bug - you pack the stuff into model, export it, then you open the scene that you want, import the model, and get the pointcloud_leaves out of the model into the scene root (or simply take all stuff out of the model into the scene root) - it works fine for me, write if you will(will not) succeed )))))

Hi, thanks! That's what I'm going to do as plan B... = )
