      Of course the makers of the export plugins for the free renderers (Indigo, Kerkythea, POV...) have done a fantastic job too.

        purge.rb - good way to decrease your file size quickly

        drop.rb - it like its hot.

          Well, guys, MOST of these ruby scripts are fantastic and very useful. Yet take a couple of things in mind:

          • the scripts to be presented should be exceptionally spectacular
          • they should be kind of new (at least created after the lates Basecamp) to present some novelty lately created
          • there should not be too many of them as most audience will lose interes after a while (hm... teaching experiences...)
          • mostly related to SU > SU workflow (otherwise how will you present a brilliant SU2KT script? You cannot start applying / tweaking materials and then wait for a considerable time till the render bakes)
            My full respect to all the scripters and their plugins but in reality, this is going to be a presentation that should be shocking people about the possibilities of SU.

          Anyway, Tood will probably make up his mind (if he hasn't already) and probably already working on the presentation. πŸ˜‰

          I hope all who make presentations will share them in one way or another. I bet Coen could even set up a couple of pages where they can be then read / viewed in full extent (and wouldn't sink to the bottom after a few days/weeks) but I don't want to speak in his name at all.

            Todd,

            If it's not too late, I vote for didier's layer_manager_v6.rb & bezierspline.rb

                Todd,
                (Off topic I know:)
                While you're there could you ask the blokes at HQ to integrate a routine for running ruby scripts from the COM API? Something like .RunRubyScript(RubyFile) that exits with the script return value. This will open all kinds of possibilities for automation.

                I suggested this to @Last many moons ago and the man agreed that it was a good idea but alas nothing came of it.

                Good luck with the presentation.

                  Therefore, please post your thoughts for which Ruby scripts you would like to see highlighted during this presentation.

                  I think the SketchyFFD script is really, really great!!! 😍

                  If you really want something you won't ever stop pursuing it.

                    These are all such good suggestions. I'd love to present them all but I don't think Google will give me a 1/2 a day to do so.

                    Authors - I'll be contacting you all shortly!

                        In no particular order, and from a cast of thousands, I would definitely include:

                        Mirror (Remember how man times this was asked for / requested on the old forum ?).
                        PipeAlongPath
                        Centerpoint

                        BezierSpline
                        JointPushPull
                        Also show PDF files / user manuals for these two - Excellent and very comprehensive.

                        SoapSkinBubble

                        Purge
                        VolumeCalculator (latest version from TIG, version 2-1 ?)
                        ...
                        For a good variety in your presentation, I wouldn't just concentrate solely on the gee whizz / flash bang scripts.
                        Some of the most useful scripts are actually the ones that perform the everyday tasks
                        (and should really have been incorporated into the core program originally) eg Mirror
                        ...
                        Hope this helps
                        Regards
                        Howard L'
