plant_growth_animation_TEST

Well for a while I wanted to test if I could animate a plant growing from the ground in Houdini and keep it all procedural and easy to change its parameters so I did this test. still I was not able to deal with intersections in an a organic way making each leaf change its direction smoothly while the animation was playing so I dealt with it deleting the intersecting leaves in the final animated frame and just got rid of those that overlapped for the full animated sequence. not an elegant solution but the intersecting is not a huge trouble now, :D.

I will keep testing on ways to make that work .
