Baga Ivy Generator

by antoine bagattini in Addons





The addon includes three generators for all your ivy needs: Precision - lets you draw on your ivy, designing it branch by branch; Accurate - generates ivy that fits the surface of your object, covering it with a complex and realistic branch network; and Fast - for creating expansive ivy areas with top-notch performance.




○ YFAST Generator : Perfect for background scenes or covering large areas, this generator focuses on performance and can create a vast amount of ivy.





○ ACCURATE Generator : The ivy spreads and adapts to the surface, automatically generating a realistic network of branches.





○ PRECISION Generator : Draw your ivy branch by branch.




○ Quickly switch between species with 1 click !



   
   
○ Select a preset > select a target > DRAW !

○ Baga Ivy is fully integrated with the asset browser, so you can also use your own assets. Each preset has its own settings to generate the species in the most accurate way.







○ Our library contains over 300 assets and 70 preset species. Each preset has its own settings, which allows the generator to be as accurate as possible.

    Optimized for EEVEE & Cycles

    ○ Built with quad topology for seamless subdivision.
    ○ Minimal alpha for efficient rendering,
    ○ True-to-life species representation,
    ○ Fully compatible with both EEVEE & Cycles,

    The assets materials are also compatible with BagaPie’s "Node To Panel". 







○ Seamless loopable animations and intuitive wind control at your fingertips – our generator delivers dynamic ivy right out of the box.

○ Tip: For optimal results with custom assets, ensure their transforms point to +Y. If not, we've got you covered with a built-in option.




○ Versatile Generation : A few tweaks unleash a vast range of ivy and vine designs. Dynamic Foliage: Intuitive controls for both leaves and flowers.

○ Parametric Power : Built on Geometry Nodes for non-destructive modeling prowess.

○ Effectors : Delete leaves or branches by proxymity with other objects. Use any assets: Integrate assets from the Asset Browser or your scene seamlessly.

○ Convert to Mesh : Ready to finalize ? Convert your intricate design to mesh with ease.







○ Proxy System : Manage ivy efficiently with our proxy feature.

○  Bounding Boxes : Automatically generated for leaves and flowers. Accurate Mode : Set a different resolution for viewport and render.








Easily modify the materials to change the season or randomize brightness, hue, saturation, and more. By default, branches utilize our user-friendly procedural bark material. UVs are also procedurally generated, so you can easily use your own materials.



○ First install the addon as you would any other blender addon and setup the assets browser (via the addon preferences or addon panel).

○ Now select an asset/preset. This can be from the Asset Browser, or directly in your 3d viewport. The generator will automatically import and setup everything.
Asset Browser : make sure you’re in the "BagaIvy library", not "All".

○ Select the object(s) that you want your ivy to grow on.
Only select one object if you’re selecting assets in the viewport (Source object = View 3D).

○ Set a "Start Point" with the 3d cursor – this is the point that the ivy will start to grow from.

○ Click on Add Ivy and draw !



  • GOOD TO KNOW


○ BagaIvy V1 supports Blender 3.3+, while V2 is tailored for Blender 3.5 and upcoming versions. Future Blender versions will be supported upon their release.

○ Of course all futures updates are included.

○ This ivy is generated using geometry nodes. This means that you can modify it as much as you want once it is created.

○ Flowers and leaves are handled differently, with both distinct and shared settings depending on the ivy mode. Also, assets with "flower" in their name are automatically placed in the Flowers collection, but you're free to move them later.

○ Use presets by picking them in the asset browser and selecting a surface (Target). Each preset offers tailored parameters for specific species.

○ The addon panel simplifies the management of ivy collections. Manual collection editing isn't recommended.

○ Info icons (ⓘ) within the addon guide you to tooltips and demo videos.

○ For Accurate mode, you can create as many Start Points as you need.

○ You can't simulate the growth of the ivy, only the leaf movement is animatable.
