Ah. ok. I'd seen Ivy in images on p.b.i. back in March and assumed it was a
macro.
Well for other examples you may need to go back to circa 2000, when people
were using POV-Ray to create real-world photorealistic scenes from scratch,
for things like Trees.inc and Giles Trans' MakeTree macros, which did both
trees and shrubs. I think they're still available, though I've not tried
them on the latest version of POV-Ray.
