UV Tools Teaser ;)

Snob !
(referring to Eeepc)Nice to see the Boulder guys amazed by Whaats spherical mapping script.
[EDIT]: When I think about it, the Boulders guys should have given the correct 'expected' answer: "very nice scripting, but we already implemented it ourselves in SU7 together with other new mapping methods, modeling tools and faster viewport reaction on high poly models...you know, we are on top of things.".
-
I demo-ed this script in the SketchUp Lab at 3DBC to quite a growing crowd, Dale. The guys from Boulder were very impressed. This is what I made, in the first few seconds after downloading it: the cylinders are mapped with some NIN album covers I happened to have on my eeepc.
-
I actually left the camp with almost no greater insight into any future releases' capabilities...but I did leave with a much greater appreciation of the current possibilities of SU.
I think Asustek owes me a commission: at least a hundred people had to ask me about the little computer: "You can run SketchUp on that? I've got to get one!"

Or WOW, lets give Whaat a really high paid job!! Or wow we really need to get on top of things obviously!!!!

I second that. He's good at what he does, obviously, and he seems to have a real knack for implementing new features in a "SU user friendly" kind of way. In other words: he has a KISS approach, which I - not being 3D modeling's answer to Albert Einstein - highly appreciate.

I second this too. I also agree with Lewis too, though. We all - me included - love to whine about SU, but I think we can all agree it's a fine tool.
(Totally irrelevant: NIN, eh? I went to school with Trent Reznor's niece. She told me Reznor's "the sweetest guy". )

Man that is because it was his niece you were talking to, my niece thinks I'm sweet - oh well then again so does everyone else who wears a dress! If only they knew the real me! - Muhahahahaha!

what a beautyful villain's laugh, Richard!
did you ever ask yourself why the good guys in movies always look solemn, whereas the bad guys are laughing all the time? I think I want to be a bad guy - life will be much more fun...
@majid: nice planets. all you need now is a background with some stars...

I am so glad to hear this! Honestly, one of the most time-consuming tasks that I do when I am working on a script is to just brainstorm...."What is the most intuitive and user-friendly approach to implement this feature??"
I usually come up with an idea that I like and then as I start to code it, I think of a more intuitive approach and then have to re-write the script. However, I think the extra time spent making a script intuitive is completely worth it.
The problem is, what is intuitive to me may not be intuitive to Stinkie and Richard..
So...it's great to hear this positive feedback! Thanks! -

. It shows that you pay a lot of attention to the general concept of a plugin before doing the bits and bytes.
You would make a fine leader of a software development team, as you have the creativity and you can keep the software 'on track'. Therefore I agree with Richard: you could really be an asset to the Google team.But anyway, wasn't this thread about the Nine Inch Nails? (for a good reader it is)

*...I used to do some design/build, and because I was the boss I chose the "music to build by."
It turned out that Trent Reznor was dating the niece of one furniture maker working for me. My employee's sister remarked to him, "He seems like a really nice young man, but have you heard the lyrics to his songs?" My employee said that he replied, "All the time. All the time."
Incidentally, I'm told the niece in question went on to start her own rock band, "PEN15." (Think about it.)*
Loving these scripts, Dale.

Though as you know I still can't get my head around the blending bit in the Indigo plug but then I'm also a bit slow (to much of that naughty stuff when I was younger I think - well up till june anyway!).

@ Whaat. This is indeed one of the finest plugins for Sketchup. Your work is a credit to you and i appreciate it. Thanks
