Realistic plant growth with polygons?

[jamie-evans]

Hi!

I'm trying to work out a way of animating natural-looking plant growth with polygons. I need to create a time-lapse style growth effect to feature in a computer game project, so it absolutely has to be done with polygons.

I'm sure I've seen a technique involving polygons forming along a path or curve - does anyone have any insight into this? Alternatively, does anyone have a different technique for achieving this growth effect?

Thanks very much for your time,

Jamie.

Well, the thing is the guys doing the game would need to implement most of what you need in code. As most game egines dont automatically do this.

But yes its not impossibly hard. Just impossibly hard to find a engine tat supports this. Time to turn to your engine coders.

So no its not enough to just have it in polygons you also need the surrounding facilities to make it work also. No big deal tough.
