Just thought I'd let you all know I am working on a tutorial for Ivy Generator  and if anyone cares, you can see my first moch up. It was intended to be the final, but after wards i found some strange things that were  going wrong and had to do with the Ivy Gen program, so I will be putting out a  newer version later this week to replace this one or maybe add to it?

In any case, it's something to help some of those out there get going in a good 
direction and hopefully give some a better understanding of how to create vines 
that you actually want, and not just vines that do what ever they want! LOL

Here's the link to the 75meg Zipped file, it's a Divx AVI:

Basically, everything is in there, except that now I know I need to point out, that sometimes 
your objects may??? export out either on a different axis then it shows in the Ivy Gen program,
or, you end up with something like a Mirrored vines object in which case, simply mirror 
it in your favorite 3D program and use that version instead.
It may export with both of these things wrong too.

Just a heads up, thats all.
And of course, make sure that your polygons are all trippled (triangles).

Here was my first test with the program, I'll get an image posted soon of what is in the tutorial.
Anyway, enjoy and I'll let you all know as soon as I get the newer, final version 
of this tutorial posted, which should be a little later this week.
