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

...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.
-
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!

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!
-
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
-
well i had protrude already (go figure)
but when i press 'divide' on a rectangular face it does nothing.... any ideas?
-
You must select face or object not grouped first!
Except that no idea
-
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?
-
i'll model you one if that helps.
-
haha i wont buy you one Jim, but youre more than welcome to test on mine! let me know if i can help!
-
So goto the Protrude thread and ask your problem !
Maybe it's because you have a MacDamned crossing post
-
Ressurecting the dead - or at leas the long forgotten!
But I've updated this script, and its a big enough update that I thought I'd post and let people know. Two main things are that it now works inside of groups and components and does not cause bug splats! (that was a big bug I never noticed until about 3 weeks ago, oops!). Also, the script remembers your settings between uses (but not between SketchUp sessions).
So if you have an old copy (include clf_greeble.rb or an old clf_greeble2.rb) please delete them and install this one.
UPDATE August 31, 2009
2.20:: 2009-08-31-
Fixed a MAJOR bug that would cuase SketchUp to crash when greeble was used inside a group or component. So yes, you can now safely use Greeble inside a group or component!
-
Changed some code that should theoretically speed things up ever so slightly....frankly I don't think it helped.
-
Changed some code to make it run smarter, skip certain methods if they were not being executed.
-
Fixed some code that could cause problems when faces would overlap.
2.21:: 2009-08-31 -
Now user input settings are rembered between script uses.

This thread cannot be in page 11 man
-
Ummm, what?
-
It was probably sunken to page 11 of the Ruby Forum. He must have been surprised how that comes although this is such a great plugin
Roy, there IS a reason; this forum is quite active and not only due to the published plugins but also to the technical discussions between the scripters.
Here is a better (cleaner) list of the plugins published on this forum so far (not totally proof though)
http://forums.sketchucation.com/search.php?keywords=Plugin&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=titleonly&sr=topics&sk=s&sd=a&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=SearchNote that this list spans over 21 pages itself so something inevitably must be below page 10.

SketchUp 6.4.265 on Windows XP
As a newbie, apparently I'm missing something that a more experienced modeler would take for granted.
I downloaded Greeble 2, along with Progress Bar and Offset. Put them in the Plug-ins folder. After a re-start, "Chris Fullmer Tools" appears in Plug-ins menu.
I select a grouped rectangular box with Juniper vegetation texture. I want to add some roughness to the surface. So I select the Greeble tool and enter some numbers. After clicking OK, nothing happens. I also trying selecting just one surface, but no go.
I was assuming the tool would draw a 2D grid with my +/- dimensions, then pull each piece up to a random height. If I could get some kind of response, I could then play with the numbers to get the look I want : pointy pyramids may do the trick.
Do I need to draw a grid before selecting the tool? Is there an auto grid tool? Should I greeble one face at a time? What do I need to do before invoking the Greeble tool?
Thanks for covering my ignorance with your intelligence.
