      Does it still render like that if you reload the model?
      Can you post the model?

        First, thanks so much for sharing this GREAT plugin! It is very cool. 😄

        Gotta agree, and I'm sure Iam wanting it to do, more than it really can :O)

        There's no control that I can find to STOP the components from rotating randomly... can anyone correct me? I want all my Ivy leaves to basically be oriented the same way... only rotate slightly one direction or the other, like actual ivy leaves. I can not get Fur plugin to behave this way.

        Neither can I and I would love the pluginPlanting test #2.skp to be able to do this!!!.... Can it ?

        Ive been trying for the past day to populate a simple layout with equally spaced sprays of slightly rotated, evenly spaced plantings.... no luck so far (see attached file)....but luck, I'm sure, has little to do with it :O)

          tak2hata,
          Thank you! 👍
          Once I installed the latest version, it worked perfectly.

          Renders well with Twilight Render... 3mins. 😄
          (I used 3 different Ivy leaves each placed once with fur plugin 800 components at a time.)

          Controlling the axis for the component is the hard part.

            Fletch, your leaves are not overlaping! how did you achieve that?
            The ivy is looking great, just maybe too regular.

            Thanks tak2hata for this great plugin 😄

              Perhaps he deleted some overlapping components later? 😉

                Reloading the model didn't make any difference unfortunately, but I uninstalled and then reinstalled V-Ray and the problem went -probably time to upgrade methinks! Thanks for the reply though.

                      I have a suspicion:

                      tak2hata: are you using Transformation.scaling for a uniform scale?

                      There is an issue we have run into in the past that is one use Transformation.scaling(2.0) for uniform scaling the transformation matrix ends up in an unexpected format. Face me components and Render engines did not get the proper transformation and thing would just appear to float away.
                      The solution was to use this variant: Transformation.scaling(2.0, 2.0, 2.0)

                        Maxwell has a problem with proper placing of instances. Explode your geometry and things will be fine.
                        But a new plugin is on its way, may take a while though and as I understand the misplaced instances or components bug is then solved.

                          Yes exploding works but if I have a lot of geometry then this is way too heavy even for my PC 😞

                              Tx for the great plugin. I am modeling a lot scale models for architectural presentations in the design proces.
                              So I used the plugin for scattering around people and trees.

                              But, I do not understand the settings very well, especially when using components.
                              Can someone shed some light on what settings are relevant when you use components. My trees and people sometimes are scattered above the plane they are put on. And I feel I have not much control to randomly change the size of the components. I wonder also how much componets are influanced by the settings as opposed to regular geometry. A setting by setting explenation or manual on what exactly will hapen would be great and save me so much time in "trial and error".

                              I add some of my test renders (45 seconds render time each) . Rendered in Maxwell.
                              Tx in advance for the replies,
                              Francois

                                      I have also gotten problems when I have tried to save .rb files as UTF-8.
                                      But your HTML files and translation files should be saved as UTF-8.

                                        Hm. Updated to the latest (1.3k) version and no fur is made on my system.

                                        Thom, you use comma as a decimal separator, don't you? How does the plugin work on your system; on mine it's loaded with dots and if I leave it like this, no fur is generated but if I change it to comma (as my system would use) there's no fur either.

                                        And yes, tak2hata, congrats to the SkecthUpdate Blog (and of course, thanks again for the plugin)
