Adding IVY to a statue-WIDOUTH IVYgen

Hello!

I’m new to Blenderartists and it’s my first time using forum. I need help with adding Ivy to an statue, but don’t want to use scripts since I prefer having more control and exactly defined “path” where it grows. I already made some curves, but I don’t know how to add leaves effectivelly. It’s a pain in the ass putting one leaf (plane w/ alpha-texture) at the time.
Any suggestions? Is there any modifier that i could use for this?

Thank you! :smiley:



PS. I hope I’m in a right forum and all…

One option.
Create a leaf object.
Convert your curve to a mesh
Use Dupliverts to duplicate the leaf at every vertex along your curve

It’s a pain in the ass putting one leaf (plane w/ alpha-texture) at the time.
This indicates to me that you shy away from dard work so I’d suggest you just use the Ivygen script to create ivy then reposition it using proportional editing

Okay, I didn’t know about “Dupliverts”…I’ll definitelly try it out. And if it won’t work, I’ll try doing it manually…“dard work” ,as you said haha.
Thank you for replying!
