[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy

Any chance of using existing components as leaves (preferable several different simultaneously) as a compliment to the "built in"?

yes, this would be a welcome adittion to the plugin. Like in the component spray plugin. The textures that come with the original Ivy Generator Script have a young and old leaf texture. These can be used to make components.

Thanks Pierreden for your efforts!!
Nothing in the Ruby Console. I'll try to uninstall others plugins perhaps there is an incompatible plugin.
EDIT:
I have probed to uninstall all the plugins but it happen the same, the SketchupIvy window appears and disappears immediately.

hi Pierreden,

I finally got the dialog to stay open on mac, which then allows for console errors to show.

Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method face' for nil:NilClass> /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SIvy/LiveIvy_tool.rb:45:in onLButtonDown'
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SIvy/LiveIvy_tool.rb:45
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method valid?' for nil:NilClass> /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SIvy/LiveIvy_tool.rb:73:in draw'

hope this helps

Hi,
Is it me or something went wrong: after finishing the ivy, I'm getting 2 black materials 'Ivy_stem' (no texture) and 'Ivy_leaf' (no texture too) and that is not used on leaves ?

dbalex · 6 May 2011, 18:06

I have the same results.. black stem texture and default texture on the leaves.

gaonirico · 6 May 2011, 22:26

Me too. Without textures and black faces

Pierreden · 7 May 2011, 06:24

Thanks for the replies everyone!

@pixero/thomthom/pugz: This is a brilliant idea. This wont be first priority, but will look into it after bug fixes and the mac issues

@oxero/driven: Thank you! Will look at it and hope to release a fix later today (saturday)

@didier/dbalex/gaonirico: Looks like the textures isnt applied to the material... Are you using SU8 (im actually not sure if this is an requirement)? Mac Windows? Any console messages when you start a new model and then starts the plugin?

Thank you for your patience and coops everyone!

Peace
Pierre

I'm using SU8 Pro on Windows XP and 7. No console message at startup.
Maybe there's a problem within the Pdn Materials class/module ?
Keep on the good work !
Regards

gaonirico · 7 May 2011, 12:06

Hi Pierreden. I am using SU8 on Windows 7. Not appears me messages of console when beginning.

dbalex · 7 May 2011, 12:50

same as the others: sketchup 8 and windows 7, Thanks for your work on this one, it's getting better and better!

I like how fast the plugin is already developing, thanks for the hard work.
Any reason Ivy keeps growing on all my unresolved design spots? Maybe a bug

pibuz · 9 May 2011, 12:54

What a wonderful plugin! I always wanted to grow some ivy directly into SketchUp!!! Thank you Pierre!

I'm here to report strange behaviours too: when I call the Ivy menu, the SkIndigo material panel is opened too (sketchup to Indigo plugin). Also, as some others noted, I can't see any textures applied to the geometry.

I'm running on WinXP and SketchUp7.

Thank you Pierre!

Is it just me or does everyone have a problem with JPP now? When I delete the Ivy plugin then JPP works, with Ivy it hangs.

66searcher · 9 May 2011, 21:23

@Pierreden:
...when i select it from plugins sub-menu nothings appear(no menu) & selection(mouse left button) stops working ,and it can't be deactivate from plugins sub-menu.until i select a tool from toolbar..and then it makes it deactivate!
it's a complicated situation that i can't explain in better way !

gaonirico · 9 May 2011, 21:48

It happens me the same thing that 66searcher. It can be a conflict with other plugins

solo · 9 May 2011, 21:57

Actually it's a combination of three plugins, e-onlumenrt.rb seems to mess with ivy, ivy and lumenrt mess with JPP, however if I remove lumenrt then ivy and JPP work.... strange.

Pierreden · 9 May 2011, 22:08

@66searcher/gaonirico: Thats not good. Uploaded a new fix (0.5.1). test it out.

@solo: Thats very weird. The only thing i can think of is that LumenRT adds an observer to something. Checked out JPP's source and cant find any sheared namespaces or anything.... Any suggestions?

solo · 9 May 2011, 22:14

It's lumenrt that's the culptrit. no problems now that I deleted it.

I reported this to them on the e-on software beta forum.
