Re: Plant Factory
is it Realistic to ask for an ICE version of every third party ware that comes out ? don't get me wrong it sounds like an ideal solution and I think it would be awesome, but is it actually doable ?

Re: Plant Factory
In this link, there is some info about support for rigging and vertex/point caching (MDD style). http://www.theplantfactory-tech.com/index.php?post/2013/03/25/The-Plant-Factory-Technology-in-Your-3D-Application That should be enough to add collision support or modification of pointpositions in ICE, depending on individual needs and levels of refinement?

Re: Plant Factory
Ah... yes... I always wanted to use my iPad for proper work... /s So a desktop version isn't there? Shame, as it looks nice.

I don't know, why not. People created hair or feather systems already, and there are numerous experiments with ICE strands for plants/trees. Isn't that the whole idea of ICE anyway... being relatively quick with things like that (given the necessary skills)? Of course, if there's no luxury version, we'll have to stick to the import-it-all workflow, like the last 10 years. If it's really simple and headache-free (UVs, shaders...), it might be allright for 95% of the cases. Growth animations would be something you couldn't do that way, though - a rare case maybe. Reminds me of Maya's PaintFX tools... how long has those been around? 13 years? Still nothing comparable in SI, is there. Go for gold, or for compromises... what's better?
