I am currious if its possible with Vue 6 to create Vine like Vegitation.  I desired it be done procedurally and being able to control where it goes.  With Vue 6 new ability to paint the ecosystem, I believe this could be possible

Any ideas on this could be done.  I do have Vue 6 xStream and Lightwave 9, so 3d object  from external packages is also an option.

Over at the Cornucopia3D store, there is an Incredibly Lush Ivy Kit.  Looks like will do what you want.  The only problem with painting eco systems, it the surface has to be down.  Painting a wall would require flipping the object.  Not sure if a painted eco will "stick" to the wall.  Will have to give it a try. 

Thanks for response - I will have to give it a try - but in my idea its actually more complicated than just a wall. Its actually part of 3d Object.  But most of time architexture ( Building ) objects are rectangles.

I believe Ecosystem can be done on non rectangular objects, I seen some images, so is this limitation only for painting ecosystems.

That brings up to another question. Can object previous purchase at Cornucopia3D store wotk with Vue 6.  My situation might actually be more complicated.  My previous purchases were done on my original Vue 5 Infinite product. But I got another version of Vue 5 Infinite when I upgrade my Lightwave 3d to version 9.0,  I use that version for my upgrade to Vue 6 xStream because I deisred them to work together.

All of your previously purchased content will work in Vue 6.   Regarding ecosystems, you can paint or populate any object onto any object.  So in your example, you could paint Ivy or vines onto anything.

The use of Cornucopia3D items in other Vue versions has mainly to do with encryption . If you bought encrypted items they are bound to the INST code of the version you have bought them for. Vue 6 Infinite will automatically detect a prior installation with its code and let you use your encrypted items then for Vue 6 Infinite.

If you have changed license  you need to download the encrypted items again from Cornucopia3D. One reason why you have five downloads for each item - and can let them be resetted if you need more.

Regarding the vine - is there any program that can do what you want to have? I can not really see that, especially in a program that is not a high specialised modeller. But maybe one day...

As Dave mentioned, you always can paint in items you need with the eco painter and then get what you want through this.

Solid-growth vines are a Vue 7 wish item for me. I would love to be able to grow vines from the plant editor. It's a dream. While I'm dreaming, the vines could be made to conform to another object. :)

So is there a requirement for paint ecosystem on only surfaces facing down. Can I paint ecosystem on a ball for example.

I just Hope E-on fix the floating license issues - it would make it much easlier

of course you can paint on a ball - paint, rotate the object, paint on, rotate the object etc etc. And in the end rotate the object back as you need it.

I did exactly something like that on my image "My residence" in the gallery. Rotated to object so that the front side is facing up, applied an ecosystem onto it, erased items i didn't wanted, rotated the objhect to the side and painted more items in, rotated it to the other side and painted more items in. And finally rotated the whole thing back to where it belongs.

Creativity in the workflow sometimes is demanded.

Thats sounds perfect, now I just hope floating licenses get fix.   I will definely have to try this out.

Thanks a lot.
