Welcome to Ivy Studio, the procedural Ivy and climbing plants generator that focuses on the creation of realistic environment adaptive vegetation. Ivy Studio generates Ivy and climbing plants using the colliders in the scene as a base on which to grow, climb and adapt, and can be used to create very optimized Ivy at runtime.

You can create the Ivy at both design and run time, create your ivy in editor and then grow it in the game, with a deterministic ungrow option that will recreate the Ivy exactly as placed in editor without the need for saving it directly in the scene, for minimal scene size.

- LOD system that will cut off the Ivy at distance when the grid system and limited area planting per manager as used.

- Models with above 64K vertices possible

- Export ivy meshes and create prefabs

- Shaders with wind support for all pipelines

- Gradual growth of Ivy at run time, this system is complete from a scripting side, though the shaders side is work in progress, e.g. there is a few shadowing issues while growing and is Standard Pipeline only for now, this aspect will be finalized in the next version of the asset and URP and HDRP support will be added for this mode.
