This Fully Procedural Ivy and Fig Tree Generator Runs In Your Browser
It works using Three.js.
The Developer and 3D Specialist, Chiro Visuals, shared an open-source, fully procedural ivy and fig tree generator that could be very helpful for artists. Chiro explained that it runs in your browser using Three.js and that every leaf, branch, and vine is generated in real-time.
It allows you to paint a path on any mesh surface and watch a procedural ivy grow along it. The foliage looks organic and free of repetition, making it more realistic and dynamic.
Some of the settings are model, growth, leaves, shape, look, wind, and growth animation. Chiro's idea is to add seasonal color ramps, flower/berries, and moss patches. The generator is available on GitHub.
We shared another system created by Chiro Visuals using Three.js and WebGL, which is a real-time snowfall system that looks amazingly good.
Chiro Visuals has shared on his Twitter/X account other open-source systems and setups he has created with Three.js. Each one can help other artists experiment with their creativity and make different projects.
Check out other Three.js projects that we have shared in the past, like Andry Dédouze's browser game, Physiotherapis's 3D morphometry and simulation platform for the cranium and cranio-cervical junction, or Dan Greenheck's ocean rendering system.
