(RE: this thread - http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=17109&st=0&sk=t&sd=a )

hi smart people.

i imagine something like this has been discussed before but i didn't find anything via searching.

the ruby would make bending possible. (and i may be using the wrong term here as Pilou has informed me in a different post )

start off with a more simple shape:

which can then be bent into this:

is something like this even possible within sketchup?

thanks for any help or info!

It could be a real good plugin for geologic modelling too
I mean to give the "bent radius and angle" to draw such things : (3D)

Daniel, how do you do those animations?, I've seen a few others you created but now I need to know as they rock!

Daniel S · 2 Mar 2009, 21:10

Nothing special... I just use a screen video recorder.
There are a lot, but I use: Camstudio

I use Camstasia, I was wondering more about the actual animation, is that straight SU, I didn't know things could bend like that in SU.

me neither!

please tell me this is some sort of stop motion animation and not some easy method i have missed all along.

No, it´s bonzai3d with a SU look (above the image I clarified that, but in small letters).

Whoah!!!

Gimme, gimme, gimme. That's excellent!

What magic is this, video trick or real script?, that's exactly what I want....

Marian · 21 Mar 2009, 16:40

Amazing.......

Daniel S · 21 Mar 2009, 16:40

Incredible to see that this can be done in sketchup!!

And there are a lot more icons on that toolbar!!!

Gwhaaaahp!
How much and what's your account number?

Marian · 21 Mar 2009, 16:41

Will this be a free plug or commercial one?

pilou · 21 Mar 2009, 16:56

Damned Fredo!
I suspect you to be the Tetris' creator, the rubiks cube inventor, and the discover of this!

WHat the crap is this ??? I'm not sure that I fully understand this discussion. Is there available something for sketchup which does things like that??

Of course yes! But in just few days, it will be the new Fredo6's plug!
You don't seen his video teaser? (previous page)
