Animating Ivy Waving in the Wind in Cinema 4D

There are a couple of options for creating and animating Ivy in 3D, most notably there is Thomas Luft’s quite popular stand alone application Ivy Generator from way back 2008, and to complement the Ivy Generator, there is the FreeWare IvyGrower plugin for Cinema 4D, that was created by Kuroyume.

Here, Digital Sandwich’s Glen Faught walks through a quick tutorial showing how to create Ivy in Cinema 4D using the IvyGrower plugin, and then demonstrates how you are able to animate the Ivy by creating a gentle leaf blowing effect using Cinema 4D Effectors.
