Quick tip : Ivy / Hedges

SketchUp file: ivy.skp​

• See how the leaf component's axes are set up.

• Random distribution with Wrap (UV) mode

• Use “Pointing Direction” all the way to “Normal”.

• Check “Swap object’s Y and Z axes”

• Use random X rotation between -30 and 0 (or other values) to control how much the leaves will lean to the ground. You can also put some random Y and Z rotation for more diversity.
