for architectural visualizations. With this script for 3ds
max you can create trees, bushes, shrubs, flowers and
grass.
![Page 18: Best Tools for Design & Development of 3D Environment](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060117/5584ff27d8b42a8f078b4ce8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Vegetation
This Script allows you to create a ground plant
by setting some parameters.
![Page 19: Best Tools for Design & Development of 3D Environment](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060117/5584ff27d8b42a8f078b4ce8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Ivy_generator
![Page 20: Best Tools for Design & Development of 3D Environment](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060117/5584ff27d8b42a8f078b4ce8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The ivy grows from one single root following different forces:
a primary growth direction (the weighted average of previous
growth directions), a random influence, an adhesion force
towards other objects, an up-vector imitating the photocopy
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. The
ivy generator imports and exports obj+mtl files
