quote under fair use:

"up-vector imitating the phototropy of plants, and finally gravity. This simple scheme reveals that the goal was not to provide a biological simulation of growing ivy but rather a simple approach to producing complex and convincing vegetation that adapts to an existing scene."

If you make the phototropy of the plant static, the vegetation won't adapt to scenes where light isn't comming from that direction.
It would be better to generate the average direction of the light and/or adjust the plant's growth direction while growing, while exposed to the light. This will require some work but will produce better and more important dynamic results.

Further it looks very good, great work!

Hi!
I have just tested it, and I'm very impressed !
The influence of the sliders factors are a bit unpredictable, but the result is very nice. It is an excellent tool.

Thanks a lot for sharing Thomas !

Thomas still did not answered my mail and he did not uploaded my Linux port to his page. So I have just uploaded it to my own page to allow other Linux users to use it right now:

http://pinguino.dyndns.org/hospedados/ivy-gen_1.3_linux_src.tgz

Please, be patient, it is an slow cable connection. I will delete it after being uploaded to the Thomas page.
