An overgrown statue.
A file size of 223 mb for the ivy (2mb for the statue).
In v3.7:
parse time: 81 CPU seconds (1 thread)
trace time: 6 minutes (2 threads)
There are a number of issues one has to take into account:
- the x-axis orientation is switched between the Generator and Poseray. This
may give problems with assymetrical objects. Just inverse then the Ivy
object along x.
- As said by Jeremy already: watch out for the transparency mapping.
- several of the sliders work differently from what is expected.
- make sure your obj file is correct. I started using obj generated by Silo
(which work perfectly otherwise) but in the Generator they showed only half
the triangles as opaque. Solution was to pass the obj file through Poseray
and export again as an obj file. Worked correctly.
- The generator by default turns the normals inwards.

OK. Some further testing.
The axis orientation is posing problems. Should be simple though :-(
I thought simply scaling x by -1 would be enough, but it isn't. There is
more involved. IvyGenerator is right-handed I suppose, so exporting in
POV-Ray orientation through Poseray an object not centered on the origin,
you may need to:
scale <-1,1,1>
rotate <0,-90,0>
translate <a given amount over x, maybe z>
At least, that is what I come up with.
