thanks! what about ghostcomp. have you tried that?

olishea · 6 May 2010, 18:25

yes i have but not on this model. you have to unhide the ghosts before rendering which i didnt want to do. great plugin though!

makes me wish SU had display states. we could display comps as wireframe. i guess this is what ghostcomp gives us (display states) but isn't quite the same as they are in other progs.

You just gave me an idea, Fred...
(which I find to be an excellent idea, actually...)
Since you can use Components from the scene together with this plug-in, you can take the texture of an Ivy leaf, create a component and "spray" that on the surface...

I have a model, where I need to make a pavilion (or whatever it's called in English) made of metal tubes and where Ivy covers it...
I've been struggling with Ivy Creator, but this can actually do the job...

Yes Kim, It's great idea. This Plugin is awesome...

Yep that will do the job and very well!!!

With this plug-in, I finally succeeded making my ivy pergola...
I had never dreamed that I would be able to do it inside SU...

I used two ivy leaves from the "English Ivy" in Solo's Garden pack 1 , made it a component and used the fur plug-in to "distribute" it onto a frame...

fymoro · 8 May 2010, 08:59

Well done, thanks for the tips Kim...
Please can you make a small tuto ?

massimo · 8 May 2010, 10:31

5 min of work...and raw SU output. Really an amazing plugin

It's really easy, Fred...

Like I wrote earlier... In my example, I used the English Ivy from Solo's Garden pack...
1.) I exploded the model and deleted everything except 2 ivy leaves.
2.) Make these two leaves into a component.
3.) Open the Fur setting dialog
4.) You'll need to play around with the settings. My input in the "Density" box was 1000
5.) In the "Make by ComponentInstance" you select the Ivy leaves from the list
6.) Select the surface where you want the leaves to be
7.) Click "Make Fur" button.

Voila...!

Wow!! Massimo, very cool !!!
Thanks for the totu Fredy...
