[Plugin] Greeble 2 released! (Updated August 31st, 2009)

I miss something or we are obliged to recall the box dialog between each generation?

Chris Fullmer · 26 Feb 2009, 00:29

Yeah, I think the inputbox has to be recalled each time you want to use it Frenchy.

And Pibuz, I will make a grid and divide into 10cm boxes and try the script. Are you trying to offset it more than 5cm?

If it helps, I use a grid that is roughly made up of boxes that are 9m x 9m. So the deafult values will work best on a much larger grid than 10cm. Maybe just try it on a larger grid for starters. I think you will run into issues if you are trying to offset the face more than is tolerable.

Hi Chris!
I made a rar file containing all that you requested.
-skp file
-greeble.rb
-progressbar.rb
-offset.rb
-screenshots of the problem

Thank you so much. You're so kind...

...Oh, BTW: I tried to use protrude.rb by Jim Foltz, and it appears to have the same problem.
I'm starting to feel like I've sort of a plugin conflict...

Chris Fullmer · 26 Feb 2009, 10:55

ok, we're getting somewhere. It is possible that you are experiencing a problem that component spray tool is causing. Get the newest release here:

That might very well fix the problem. Let me know if it does,

Yey! everything works allright now!!! Thank you so much!
Sorry to have been such a pain in the ***, chris...

Thank you again!

Chris Fullmer · 26 Feb 2009, 20:05

Nope, absolutely not a pain at all. Thanks for staying around until we could find the fix. I really want my script to work for everyone.

pibuz · 27 Feb 2009, 08:49

...I owed it to you

Thank you Chris!

PS. Rendered in Indigo. I'm trying a blend map between pure gold shader (metal nk) and stone (diffuse bumpy shader). One night of calculations. I was looking for an high-contrasted image, to give the all scene a dark overall feeling. What do you think? Volume light in postpro.

Chris Fullmer · 27 Feb 2009, 09:01

Hey, that looks great! I don't know much about shaders, but the image sure looks good. Glad I could help,

Chris

hey guys! i've tried searching and can't find it..... was there ever a plugin that randomly divides a face?

There is one on the web that says it is in production (but that was updated August '08)

Thanks in advance!

Hihi
I believe that is Protrude
The competitor of this one

Sheesh!, get me in trouble with Jim!

Actually, you'd probably have to say my script is a competitor of protrude, since I wrote mine long after Jim wrote his (and Tig wrote his and Didier had written his ) For me it was just a great script to write to help me learn how to write scripts. Its largely inferior to Jims.

Plus I know Jim had been working on a true greeble with little greebles added to all protruded faces. I want him to finish that one!

pilou · 9 Mar 2009, 18:12

But Zorro2 by Whaat is cool too and give you more control
And works also for a 3D object!

(yes Protrude has just the Button to press between each generation

bugmcw · 9 Mar 2009, 23:38

well i had protrude already (go figure)

but when i press 'divide' on a rectangular face it does nothing.... any ideas?

pilou · 9 Mar 2009, 23:45

You must select face or object not grouped first!
Except that no idea

bugmcw · 10 Mar 2009, 00:14

hahah fortunately for me i got THAT far.... i select the face and just click away an nothing happens, maybe i will try to re-download it

[edit] redownloaded and reinstalled with same issue as before.... this is too weird... i can select rectangle, then choose Protrude... the dialogue box pops up, i hit divide and nothing.... weird...

It's my fault - it doesn't work on a Mac and I don't have a Mac to try it on. I'm sure I could get it to work. Anyone want to buy me a Mac?

xrok1 · 10 Mar 2009, 00:28

i'll model you one if that helps.

bugmcw · 10 Mar 2009, 01:15

haha i wont buy you one Jim, but youre more than welcome to test on mine! let me know if i can help!

pilou · 10 Mar 2009, 07:32

So goto the Protrude thread and ask your problem !
Maybe it's because you have a Mac

Damned crossing post
