Thanks Alain, I won't search too much for that (im)possibile feature and rather
will focus on use of Mesh then. which of course leaves Ivy generator as the best
candidate for generating plants growing over tree meshes. I still need to find
the best free tree mesh generator.
Yes, Thomas, I have tried PovTree, but the only version (1.5) I could find (on
the internet archive)
http://web.archive.org/web/20051101175949/propro.ru/go/Wshop/povtree/povtree.html
....has greyed out export possibilities. That's too bad because it would have
alowed me to generate a dummy mesh for the purpose of growing Ivy and a higher
res blob based tree for rendering.
And as to the other two programs, their free versions have limitations. Thanks
anyway.

That is strange, because my copy of 1.5b (1) saves to blobs and (2) exports
to POV-Ray mesh (mesh2 and obj are greyed out; they were supposed to be
further implementations by Gena, which he never found time apparently to
complete).

Limitations indeed in maximum size. However, you can overcome that
limitation by using the height_fields as functions and applying a little
warp to them. Trick offered to us by Kirk Andrews IIRC. Example:
#declare F_HF =
function {
pigment {
image_map {
png "My_hf_map.png"
map_type 0
interpolate 2
}
warp {repeat x}
warp {repeat y}
scale 50
warp {
turbulence 0.2
octaves 1 //[6]
lambda 1 //[2]
omega 0.2 //[0.5]
}
scale 1/50
}
}

Correct. I forgot about this one. I use it from time to time.

And also thanks a lot for terrabrush, though I don't speak german, I managed to
find "eroieren"! It got me motivated enough to try and figure out the rest as
soon as I get the time because that's what I was searching for. Before I spend
time translating from a language I don't know, is there any french, english or
italian version anywhere? Is this free for commercial use?
I did also ask the developer. But I still ask here in case the languages would
make us unable to exchange.

Awfully sorry, I did get carried away without reading the Terrabrush Readme now
I found translations exist, which is very nice!
And about Brice, I knew, but
-I thought the links were long dead and didn't even bother to search for them,
So thanks! We're beginning to gather some precious ressource!
-I still want to find some solution that is as free as possible, so I asked to
the developer of terrabrush about commercial use and am waiting for his answer,
Yet I guess he has the choice to give only indiviual answers like they do for
beta programs, but if I can I'll update this thread.
As usual this Povray community is very responsive. (comming from a Blender user,
this is a big compliment :p )
