thanks..i'll give it a shot

Great tutorial, these images look amazing with little photshop work!

thanks TIG

Sorry Pixbae, I only just spotted your question. Follow Me is one of the basic tools that comes with SU. As I've already said, this tutorial doesn't use any plugins...that's why it's called vanilla flavoured. This is the problem with Pilou's approach; if you don't even know what Follow Me is, then for the sake of your own learning curve, if nothing else, you shouldn't be going anywhere near Ruby scripts. Learn the basics first. You'll then have a much better understanding of which plugin to use when...and how you can fix it if things go wrong. The diamond pattern is produced by simply drawing diagonals across all the quads, in a diamond pattern. Yes...simple maths. The torus had 72 segments, because that was the number of segments on the circle being followed by the template in scene 1. I reduced it to 2 segments...so it's obviously going to take another 35 copies of that double segment to remake the complete circle.

wow very inspiring tutorial. one of a kind.

I see, I'll give it a whirl. Thanks again for your help! ^^

@robert111 said: Curviloft Look in that first post for instructions... this is the best way to go about it... (and if i may add the easiest) all you need to do is make the lines (or curves) along which you want the surface and then simply use this wonderful plugin to create the surface for you.

nice tutorial thanks

Hi, There are some tutorials on Dave´s blog: http://www.finewoodworking.com/item/31103/sketchup-8-pro-a-look-at-some-of-the-solid-tools And on YouTube too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAS1EVOvDMo Hope it helps ( I´m not an expert, you know )

Huh....I use an emulated graphics card and don't have that problem. Cheers,

Oh $&*T!!!! What doesn't work is the preview in the SCF browser. C'mon Csaba, sort it out!

i think we checked that but We will double check. Thanks for the response. D

@unknownuser said: I think Bagatelo's point is to identify which keys aren't not yet assigned as shortcuts? Yes, there are some errors in that table. I'm working on a new version. Wait a few days.

This is a great tutorial! Thank you for posting it!
