ivy generator

Photoshop CS6 - 3D - The Ivy Generator creates a biological simulation of growing ivy and the files can be used in Photoshop to create unique images. In fact you can ignore the Photoshop thing 'cos you can always export an .obj from Max.
Find it under Photoshop or Creating Textures.
(I have tested this and it works well in Windows 8!)
