Modeling an Ivy Plant with Helix along Curve and Random Tools - Sketchup Timelapse Tutorial

Today it’s Ivy Plant modeling time 😉 I know the leaves are not Ivy-like but getting the leaf part right is not the point of the video. I’m sure you can make leaves the way you like them by following modeling principles seen in this video
This video is a part of the Random object modeling series. You can check out the rest of the series on this link • Random Objects
Extensions (plugins) I’m using in this video:
JHS Powerbar
Helix Along Curve - Tutorial here: • Memory Copy, Helix Alo...
Vertex Tools
Curviloft - Tutorial here: • Curviloft for Sketchup...
Solar North - Tutorial here: • Solar North, Shape Ben...
FredoToo - ThruPaint
Random tools - Tutorial here: • Memory Copy, Helix Alo...
Vray for Sketchup
If you want to follow along with all the steps, and recreate this exact model yourself, I suggest you set the speed of the video to 0,25. That way you can follow the tutorial with no problem. But If you’re just here for the speed build timelapse, just sit back and enjoy the video as is, or you can even double the speed.
The rendering is done with Vray plugin for sketchup, but I keep it extremely simple. I just decrease the intensity of the light, increase the size of the sun to get that soft shadows effect and work around refraction and reflection of the materials.
In the lower left corner of your screen you can see what I’m typing but beware, I don’t use Sketchup default shortcuts as you’ll probably notice, but I’ll list all my custom shortcuts right below.
Here is the full list:
Ctrl+1 - Select tool
Ctrl+Q - Draw line
Shift+A - Draw arc
Ctrl+W - Mirror tool (plugin)
Ctrl+Shift+X - Move tool
Ctrl+Shift+A - Offset tool
Ctrl+R (or R) - Rotate tool
Alt+Y - Hidden geometry (on/off)
Ctrl+D - Tape measure
S - Scale tool
E - Eraser
C - Draw circle
Y - Draw rectangle
V - Paint bucket (Alt - Eyedrop tool)
A - Push pull

May i know the name of plugin which you used at 3:50 ,next to left side of curviloft.

[@SketchupStyle]

It's Vertex tools. I used it before, at 1:18. I always write the name of the plugin the first time I use it in a video

[@kesselrunheroj8497]

Can anyone explain to me how they are placing the model along the curve and making it rotate out to look like ivy? I cannot figure out what is going on by watching the video.
