[Plugin] GhostComp - v1.4a - 31 Oct 18

je poste mon petit pack d'icônes pour GHOSTCOMP. J'ai fait ça pour moi et je partage.

prendre les icônes et les copier dans le dossier "IMAGES_Standard" du plugin GHOSTCOMP
http://www.box.net/shared/gv8ooblvog

Thanks a lot.
Actually, the best is to create a subfolder IMAGES_DJMX1 in the folder GHOSTCOMP_DIR_10 and put the icons there. Then in the Default Parameters dialog box for GhostComp you can enable these icons. This way, you are sure that they won't be overwritten in a next release of GhostComp.

This is excellent for preparing renderings with tons of 3D vegetation, Thank you very much!
An option to have just wireframes of the two bounding boxes options (recursive and simple) would be cool for the next version.

What is the message in SU7 :

uninitialized constant GhostComp::T6Errore di caricamento del file GhostCompLoader.rb
uninitialized constant GhostComp::T6
Thanks

It looks like a problem of installation, most probably your Unzip programs not reconstructing the folder hierarchy.
Check out the footprint of files and folder in the post and in the documentation.
It seems that some users have this type of problem.
By curiosity, which utility do you use to unzip the files?

Fredo THANK YOU for all your great work!

The script is now translated to Chinese, thanks to the effort of the CLT Team at SketchupBar.

No working GHOSTCOMP ?

Chris Fullmer · 29 Jan 2010, 01:17

Perhaps you have a group selected instead of a component?

a perfect companion to fur. no?

xrok1 · 6 May 2010, 17:16

is there a reason this plug hides the geometry as well as the layer? if it just hid the layer one could use wireframe ghost but still render it, but with the geometry being hidden too it doesn't work that way. any work around for this?

Hi Fredo thanks for this awesome plugin! i have a question.... first mi render motor is vray, when i turn a component into a ghost, when i render the components it just a cube a surface or anything depending of the component, theres no way to render the original component being a ghost? the case is that i dont want to render the geometry that the plugins does, only the original component....thank you very much!

Hi, when I try to copy/paste a component + its ghost component generated in a file "1" into another file, it seems, that the relation between them is broken ...

It would be very handy to preserve the relation between original component and ghost during transportation between files.
For example wireframe ghost of a highpoly tree takes a while to generate and it isn't practical to do it every time you insert the tree into new model ..

Very nice toolset Fredo

You should keep in mind that GhostComp is a conceptual plugin. Really, what it does should be done in native by SU, and in a much more efficient way. To preserve the links between files for components is simply not possible with the Ruby API as it is today.
