Title: FPIvy animation
Post by: RealViz on May 28, 2024, 10:45:11 am

Hello,
do you foresee any animation options for FPIvy? The growth itself is probably quite complicated technologically (due to the hand drawing), but small movements of the leaves would definitely help a lot in animations.

Hi,

It's possible to animate leaves parameters to simulate small movement (as Rotation).
But we just noticed Ivy object is not properly updated on viewport and render sequences. We'll fix that.

On the other hand, to simulate growing, you can animate 'Growth Level' and 'BaseLine' parameters. But it may require some trial and error to get smooth results.
It also works better with high values of Growth->Segments (shorter branch segments), because it's not possible to animate the growth of each branch segment.

Thank you, somehow I didn't realize that animating differently rotated leaves doesn't actually matter if they all rotate the same. :-)
