Generation Method (Accurate Mode ONLY)

The Generation Method menu provides access to advanced parameters that govern the underlying behavior of the ivy generation. These settings are primarily intended for experienced users.

Advanced Parameters

Use these settings to refine the physical interaction between the ivy and your target surfaces:

Snapping

• Distance: Sets the threshold at which leaves are influenced by the Normals of the target face.
• Usage: This is particularly useful for bridges (ivy growing between two objects). It determines the distance at which the leaves stop following the surface orientation and become "free" in space.

Displacement

• Noise Scale & Intensity: Adds procedural noise to the ivy based on the surface's normality. This helps break up perfectly straight lines and adds a layer of organic randomness to the growth.

Offset

• Distance: Creates a global offset between the target wall and the entire ivy structure (both foliage and branches).

Optimization: Decimate

The Decimate function is a powerful tool for reducing the complexity of your scene.

• Segment Length: Increasing this value reduces the number of segments in the trunk and branches, effectively lowering the polycount.
