Hi mark :
Looking forward to it . I know you've been threatening to
reveal some of the work you've been A.W.O.L. on , so maybe
now you finally will .
cheers

I know: too many promises...
But now I'm paying for the hosting and being Dutch I have no choice anymore
;)
In the meantime, here's more ivy:

A few more tips:
- I suspected in close-ups that the leaves were reversed. Hard to tell
sometimes... checking 'Invert V' in the Object import dialog can help
re-aligning them. The .obj im-/exporter is really great and versatile, RS
would be much more isolated without it!
- I applied parts of the Paper shader (translucency) to the leaves to
provide some backlighting: makes them more alive, less plastic-like. Also,
there is some Surface Filtering to make the leaf shadows lighter.
cheers,
Mark H
