[Plugin] Repeat Copy UPDATED 2-24-2010
-
Whatever is the easiest. Like to see key combo's close to SU's selection keys if possible; Ctrl-click to add to current selection, maybe Shift-Click to remove one at a time, and Alt-Click to start over.
-
Just bought it...very usefull Chris !! Thanks.
-
Yes, yes, most useful and thank you, but I must respectfully insist: where do those nice face-me trees come from which are in the page 1 tutorial? Your private collection seems not searchable from here, and a nice woods they would make should I need some place to inhabit.
-
Hey Brooke, I almost forgot to respond! The trees are just random trees I found on the 3d warehouse. I just tried to look for them again and no luck. The 3dwarehouse is really lame like that.

You are very kind, and yes it seems to be.
I will keep mine peeled.
Thank you much.
-
What about this suggestion from the first page of this thread? Will this be included someday? I really love this plugin, but that would make me like it even more.

thought. perhaps an option would be good to insert groups or components of two ways -
position> onto face
position> as the originalperhaps, following start of the tool. pressing Ctrl ( switch between insert original and ontoface)

Oh yeah, I do like that idea. I think I can implement it easy enough. I've got a few other things I am working on that I really need to get done before I update this unfortunately. I'd like to tidy up a bunch of these kinds of projects here soon though. I've got a bit of things outside of SU I'd like to get working on too.
I'll see what I can do, but don't expect anything very soon.
-
IsWon't your component on face plugin do that, Chris?
-
-
Yes its true. I can try to add that function to this script. Make it even a little more useful.

How bad is my spelling????? I need to spellcheck before I send.....

Looks useful
Will it allow you to scale/rotate randomly on individual axes?
For placing non-faceme trees it would be very useful to be able to set different rotation values for red/green/blue axes.
And for scale it would be nice to have a master min/max scale setting as well as individual (smaller) red/green/blue variations min/max values? -
I believe what it does is rotates on the Z axis of the model space. So it would rotate a tree the way you would want. It does scale with min/max parameter, but it is an overall scale factor. It does not let you scale randomly per axis.
I do have a plugin called Scale and Rotate multiple:
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=17507&hilit=plugin
It gives you lots of control over scaling and rotating lots of components. So you could use the two in conjunction if you really wanted. But in general, the purpose of repeat copy was just to make it fast to randomly place a selected group of components into the model. The scaling and rotating features are very basic.
-
Chris this is the owesome one. Way better than any other scattering competitor. Very laconic and bug free (meanwhile)
Thank you. -
this is still good idea
perhaps, following start of the tool. pressing Ctrl ( switch between insert original and ontoface)
[/quote][/quote] -
Yeah, that really is a good idea. I have not updated any of my public plugins for a loooong time. I think it might be time to get doing that here eventually.

for real -
If you have time between bottle-feeding
(the axes of the Component Sringer also

Just noticed there is a new version on Smustard (1.7.1). What is new in this version? Is the suggestion from above included?
-
No, the new version was just to make it compliant with the extension warehouse. I might have thrown in one or two code changes to speed things up, but typically its not the kind of speed change you'd notice unless you were doing a LOT of stringing.
