hello Whaat,
I bought script, but it does not function on my macbook 2,2 Ghz and 4Go fo mem !
on Sketchup Pro 6.0 (6.4.245)

It sounds like an installation problem. You should have ONE file in your plugins folder called 'subsmooth_loader.rb'.
You should have ONE folder in your plugins folder called 'Subsmooth'.
The contents of the folder should be as shown in the attached image. Hope this solves the problem!

thank you for this plugin. its amazing

I've seen your work. I can't wait to see what you can do with this plugin! Don't be shy about posting your amazing skills!

I can't believe I missed the launch date. Oh well, got it now. Many thanks Dale. I can't wait to try this out on developing low-poly people from the ground up.
Well a few minutes work plus a little post processing got me as high as the thighs, at least. A truly great plugin.

I JUST GOT IT YESTERDAY!!!!! im so exited what should i do first

Okay, I really like this script, but I have a few questions:
At home, I've got a pretty decent pc [dual core 6400 cpu, 8800 gts and two gigs of ram]
and the thing that worries me is that after subdividing one object, SU isn't running as smooth as it should. Can anyone give me some info on this? what system you are running and how easy SU handels multiple subdivided objects [1 or 2 in subdivision off course]Well, that's actually one question, but an important one
money is no problem, with the 'stable' US dollar I'm paying about 2 euro's here
...
maybe one other question: I've got two other plugins running, V-ray and Sketchyphysics [read: cool and fun ^^] are there any known conflicts?
Thanx in advance

Subd and smoothing is quite a taxing operation for any system, so i wouldnt be surprised if your machine slows down. Ive got an E6750 with 4 gigs of ram and i can quite easily grind it to a halt with a reasonably high poly model and a couple of smoothing iterations.
With respect to the conflicts, i think a few people were having problems with Vray, but that might have been sorted out by now. Id jsut keep an eye out on the forum really and see if anyone comes up with any solutions.

and the thing that worries me is that after subdividing one object, SU isn't running as smooth as it should. Can anyone give me some info on this?There are two things that could cause SU to run slower:
-
Viewport navigation becomes slower due to higher number of polys displayed. This is a limitation of your computer hardware and of SU itself. A high-end video card would definitely help.
-
If you are modelling using proxy subdivision and you have auto-update turned on, the updating may be causing SU to run slow (for example, if you paint the faces of a proxy, it will update each time you paint a face). However, if you are not currently editing the proxy, SU should run at normal speed. Turning auto-update off should also return SU to normal speed.
Hope this helps.

for the people still not too sure off buying it:
2 minutes of messing around

Here is my way of thanking you for that Whaat an amazing plugin.
Plain SU, done with Sub-Smooth and FDD. They just complete each other so very well !!

David,
I was impressed with the practicality and usability of the Indigo exporter, but Subdivide and Smooth really corners the market! I use this method in Studio Max all the time for character modeling, and I can't wait to try it in SU.
Google needs to hire you full time with a huge salary!
-
You have convinced me that you can now do anything. Have you ever considered creating an exporter for Yafray? It also is xml based, and I feel that it is the best free biased renderer out there. I would say that it competes with the quality of Vray, without displacement.
See the gallery http://www.yafray.org/index.php?s=8&p=0
