[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy

Onslaught

Awesome plugin. One thing though is that I can't adjust any of the Parameters, any idea what the problem is?

Have any of you checked out the Ivy texture pack that is on the Lutz Ivy generator page? - http://graphics.uni-konstanz.de/~luft/ivy_generator/ There are some great Ivy textures there with bump and spec maps, even a few premade maxwell ivy textures that could be used to replace the ones that come with Sketchup Ivy.

Hi to all:

I try the IVY plugin is awesome what I see but I don't understand what are the steps to make it grow. Can someone place here the shortcut keys to make it work and grow and show leaves and menu for some reason I cant see the menu I have sketchup pro 8 and Windows 7 64.

Thanks.

try this kalu:

ALT-Click : Make the ivy grow towards the mouse position (Mac: Cmd)
Mouse-Click : Grow Ivy stem
CTRL-Click : Grow Ivy leafs (Mac: Alt)
SHIFT-Click : Finish Ivy
Keyboard 'i' : Start over

Vidy , yes! Thank you! Change the default values of the Spread from "0" to "1" and it works like a charm.

Spoke to soon. Was working fine. Now it's back to its old bad behavoir Shift click to make leafs is where I end up with a problem. It appears to make several duplicate copies of just 1 ivy branch and thats it. Leaves are not drawn. What can be going wrong? Using SU 804811.

Thanks,

all depends on which version of SU you use...
try searching this forum post for updates and working version! for me a custom revised version 6.05 something does the job... try to look for it!

i´m using ivy 0.6.3 to SU 8.0. but i didn´t find ivy 0.6.5. Neve i can´t see the leafs man
not understand because the leaves do not work when I press SHIFT, the vines are also up.
Thanks man

For me its sometime works and sometimes not. Cant put my finger on it. Mostly stops working when using shift click. If it means anything, I can see the google and standard tool bar ghosting when I hit shift click using ivy 0.6.3

Any developement? This is such a wonderful program to let go. Does anyone have it working consistently in sketchup 8?
Shift click seams to be the problem. Its not making the leaves.

lapx

Anyone else have consistent success with the plugin? Might it be in conflict with other scripts?
Would love to use it on this current project...

cool !

Its working now. If I can just find out why its not working in some cases. The only thing done differently that I can think of is shutting down the computer and reactitvating sketchup_ivy.
