      "1) For Bend, I would recommend that you configure the slicer with a 'negative' number. This allows to adjust automatically the number of slices based on the angle. With a small angle, you will only get a few slices. The convention is based on a 12-sides circle (360 degree). For instance "-3" corresponds to a circle of 36 edges."

      How do you do that? I do not seem to have any GUI. In your video there is one.

            One thing I forgot to repeat and insist on.

            All transformations in FreeScale are purely geometric. So they totally ignore the behavior of Dynamic Components.

            I simply hope it does not mess up anything however.
            Personally, I have not played yet with Dynamic Components (I don't have the Pro version) and I have found nothing in the API allowing to inspect or act on such DC behaviors.

            Please tell me if you encounter any problem between FreeScale and Dynamic Components.

                Works great for rigging too, see Matrix bullet dodge timelapse.

                  That's cool solo, but don't you mean posing solo?:)

                  That gave me an idea for an update to ffd plugin for use in posing characters, if we could just place the ffd points in the mesh instead of the standart box position they appear. Is that possible? 😄

                    DacaD, Posing and rigging, same thing.
                    What would be great is to be able to select a spot and make joints, then using the bend option it only bend at the joint.

                    however what we have now works pretty good.

                      Hey, Google SketchUp, don't you think Fredo deserves a free license of SU 7 PRO ? I think that his plugins brought you a bunch of extra buyers.

                        ups, my mistake then, but i tough rigging was the stuff related with doing the bones for a mesh and conecting them that was then used to animate or pose the mesh, at least from what i can remember from animating in 3dsmax. I also called it posing because of the transpose feature of zbrush that they say artists use to pose characters wihtout doing any rigging... i'm not even sure if that name is righ (in technincal terms and english terms 😛)

                        That's a good ideia too, to animate in sketchup, a mix between sketchyphisics and freedo's free scale/bend. the Phisend plugin....lolol

                            And then after use Fredo's bend, clean selection can be useful for lighten the object 😉

                                  Thxs a lot Fred for this plugin, your ruby scripts are amazing.
                                  Do you think you could add more transformations to it, like bend, twist, Bulge
                                  Maybe for a commercial plugin?

                                  http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/download/file.php?id=20380&t=1

                                  And now you make all of our dreams come true and freely?
                                  SU was needing trasformations badly
                                  Thanks for this plugin and for your generosity

                                  I really love the user interface of those deformations, specially Stretch and Bend, so easy and precise to use.
                                  Bend Shear Taper are even easier to use than Bonzai3D deformations.
                                  And stretch its amazing I have never seen something like that before, your solution to the problem of keeping some geometry untouch its genius. Only one feature you could add is to give the strech tool the ability to make more paralel planes that deform the model, so it can afect more parts of the geometry at the same time.
                                  I only have one problem with the stretch tool some times when i strech something even a simple geometry SU freezes and does not respond, and i have to restart SU.

                                  With all your plugins you are giving Sketchup so many atractive and usefull features it's geting updated constantly.
                                  Google should change the name of the program for something like FredoUP
                                  Thanks again.
                                  And yes i think Google should give you a eternal Licence + 1000 for that

                                  Get Upa !

                                      Shame shame shame on Google for not patting this guys back! How is it that a lone programmer can take sketchup to this level with little resources in comparison to Google? Yet we get Version 7 which is a polished version of 6 yet we all had to pay. Google should either hire Fredo, Whaat, and a few others (did not mean to leave anyone out) or leave the programming to them for 2 years and see what Sketchup becomes!
