What's the story morning glory?

In this case its a whole set of glorious blooms and foliage ready to scatter on to trellises, trees, walls, and just about any thing else you can imageine!

Using the power of Ultrascatter - the included Low resolution scatter objects and distribution maps (though of course you can create your own or use the settings in ultrascatter 2 to get the effect you want) you can grow these wonderful blooms all over just about anything.

The plants them selves can be used in any scattering or non scattered mode, they are low resolution so you can use hundreds or thousands of them and their instances with ease.

The Ultra Scatter 2 Scene subsets contain everything you need to add the morning glory plants to an object as a scatter.
Though not infallible, and as with all things Ultra scatter2 , they will work better on some objects than others ( a lot depends on the uv mapping, materials mapping and general way that the object has been constructed) - so some trial and error is required - these presets will give you a mapped scatter of plants on the object.

First load your object, then load the ultra scatter 2 subset of your choice ( you can add as many to an object as you want by following this procedure for each one).

Select your ultra scatter morning glory scatter subset in the scene tab and right-click on it. Parent it to the object you want it to grow on - by dragging it or by choosing change object parent from the menu that will appear and then choosing the object on to which you wish the plant to grow.

Now, with your object selected go to the ultra scatter 2 pane and hit the little recalibrate button on the bottom of the scatter window - this will scatter your blooms on to your object.


You can leave it there if it is as you want it or if not, try adjusting some of the presets which are used. It does sometimes take a little trial and error to find the best settings, and you will need to decide whether you wan the plants to grow on the whole object or just a portion as listed in the limit too section.

In the ultra scatter 2 pane, you can re size the scatters, make them random, and adjust to your heart's content..
Please note that as stated , ultra scatter is not infallible and some objects work better than others with it. If you cant get your ivy to grow try putting a plane, cylinder or other primitive shape around or just in front of your object and parenting the scatter to that, adjust it, and once you have what you are looking for unparent it from the primitive and remove the primitive, the scatter will stay intact and as an independent group in your scene and appear to be on the object you were scattering on assuming that the privative shape matched the outer surface of that object.

So add some glorious blue, white or purple hues to your vertical surfaces with this wonderful set of low-resolution scatter objects.
