[Plugin] Make Fur v.2.1.0(20140323)

[thomthom]

Yea - creating geometry slows down as more entities are in the context you add to - I've noticed that myself.
But would it be faster to make each grass strand to be a ComponentInstance of a single ComponentDefinition? That way one can easily edit the grass afterwards as well.

[tak2hata]

It is nice idea !
I will examine it.
I think that time hangs for a moment to change this plugin.
thanks.

[meak]

cool plugin
thanks, thanks,thanks.
+1 componentinstance!

[EarthMover]

Nice! Autograss for sketchup!

Thomthom, is there is a simple code fix that we could implement to have the blades made as component instances, or does that involve some rewriting?

[thomthom]

Dunno - haven't looked at the code.

[xrok1]

thats pretty sweet! thank you.

[EarthMover]

Nice render results...great job with the UI!

I guess one could also just use the plugin to create a small patch of grass, convert it to a component and then spray it into the areas needed.

Suggestions:

Make the type box and Option box.
I like that it inherits the colour of the face it sits on. An nice option would be if it could generate a given set of material variants (0 to n) and use that.

Nice patch. Is that just one plain colour for the grass?

[solo]

Quite fun to play around with. Thank you so much.

Could you provide a brief description of each setting. Some are painfully obvious, others not so much, for me at least.

Wonder how hard it would be to make it Mac-friendly? This looks like something that would have great benefit for myself and my line of work.

hmmm!

would be nice to be able to pre-select the material though. i had to paint the branches green and then back to brown after.

[SU Reviewer]

Great Plugin! I'm in the process of reviewing it for my site. But I keep running into an issue, whenever I select my settings and then click the "Fur" button it creates the fur on the wrong side of the face. Always facing down. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks for your efforts!

[solo]

Make sure your face is orientated correctly.
