No probs :)
And btw, one of the things that I didn't realize was so important that I left out, will be in the next version.
But, just so you know, that part deals with how to keep your file sizes down for your Ivy.
basically, use the very first slider to adjust how your ivy is layed out on your object.
What this basically does, is that it will really make the size of the ivy mor spread out,
not so much it's real size, which the term implies.
The actual size of the vines and ivy leafs are done with the bottom controls.
The first control is more of a tool for spreading things out, or you could put it
that it's making les segments per size of your object that it's being applied to,
thus the smaller file sizes in the final exported Ivy.
Make sense?
Don't crank it up too much with that first slider, a little at a time will work, like a half inch
or less and just experiment with that, as each object will always very with this control greatly.
Hope this little extra info also adds to what you know? :)
OK, thanx again and like I say, I'll be getting the new version out latr on this week.
This whole week is real busy, but I'll try my best to fit it in there somewhere LOL
And I guess some might not know where to find this cool program, so here's the link:
