I played around with Ivy Generator to create the vines in my submission to the monthly Vue contest here, and found it works pretty well, but doesn't import as scaled when its created. (Had to fiddle to get the exact placement.) Created four ivy plants in all, and that's only on a 1GB macbook pro! Way back in my Bryce days I did get reasonable results by creating a tree and 'squishing' it into almost a 2 dimensional object and placing it against the wall. Should work in Vue as well, so long as its not a closeup. I've also created a material similiar to the Silverblade33 Dirt Map tutorial. The background wall in [ this picture](http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1386106&member) shows a little of  it above and to the right of the dancer on the right. The attached image shows part of a WIP with this same material. It's also possible to show this with flowers of any color too, with as many, or as few flowers. I would post it as a freebie, but some of the materials used are not open to distribution. (Such as the stone in the picture)
