anyone know of a macro or way of making  ivy/plants.. i'm making an old
house.. and i'd like to make some ivy to put on the walls. a texturemap on
the walls wont do. its going to need to be actual polygons..
thanks

Try PlantStudio. There's probably a way to create ivy in it.

Or you can try some of the vines at 3Dplants :

Erm, why polygons? A triangle mesh would be far more efficient then a 
union of polygons, and other primitives could be used for even better 
alternatives.
