Ivy in video games
Hello guys.
I've been thinking about making some post-apocalyptic environment pieces in Maya, intended for games. I was wondering, if I was to create Ivy plants, crawling up buildings, how would I go about doing that?
I'm thinking, like in the Last of Us, Ivy plants are all over in the urban environments.
I'm aware that you could either have them being simple 2d decals on the buildings, or have it being actual meshes, however that would require a lot of polygons.
Is there some really good way to make ivy plants, that look really good, but doesn't stress the machine too much?
Thanks in advance!
