Overview :
Ivy Studio is a procedural ivy and climbing plant generator that focuses on the creation of realistic, environment-adaptive vegetation. Generate Ivy in the editor or at runtime.
Highlights:
- Ivy generation based on plant behaviour rules
- Use gravity and curvature modifiers to control ivy spreading
- Ivy creation and manipulation in the editor
- Ivy generation and on-the-fly optimisation in run time
- Easy direct change of ivy leaves and flowers with any prefab
- Extreme optimisation of the Ivy mesh with per stroke or global mode for run time
- Ungrow option to remove all Ivy from scene and regrow it for edit or game start to reduce scene file size
- Deterministic planting, so we can have recreation of the exact same ivy branches on ivy recreation.
- Flat mesh branches for maximum performance
- Option for full 3D branches for the stronger systems
- Ivy generator limit per area drawing, so multiple grow managers may be used, one per area
- Grid based system to help split the Ivy for performance, automated grid creation
- LOD system that will cut off the Ivy at distance when the grid system and limited area planting per manager as used.
- Models with above 64K vertices possible
- Export ivy meshes and create prefabs
- Shaders with wind support for all pipelines
- Gradual growth of ivy at run time; this system is complete from a scripting standpoint, though the shaders side is a work in progress, e.g., there are a few shadowing issues while growing and it is Standard Pipeline only for now; this aspect will be finalised in the next version of the asset and URP and HDRP support will be added for this mode.
- Support all pipelines with Prefabs for each one for quick start.
- Support wind mode with various controls over the strength and frequency of the wind.
Planned features:
- Ivy gradual burn system
- More options on placement e.g. create Ivy bridges
- Procedural Flower generator
