[Plugin] Make Fur v.2.1.0(20140323)

boestin

First of all i would like to say thanks to the person who is responsible for this magnificent peace of art.
The tool works wonderful, but i'm facing some errors. Hopefully someone will be able to help me out.

Problem 1:
The grass or fur is always facing downwards, in other words: upside down. It doesnt matter what i do, its always this way.

Problem 2:
Somehow, the color is black and white. I was hoping to see the grass turning green.

Thanks!!

Hi Boestin,

In case 1: is the surface you want to run the plugin on a back face or a front face?

boestin

Hello Gaieus,

Thank you for you reply.
I dont know how I can check that, I am almost sure that it is the top side because when I draw a rectangle, select it and generate fur on this I am in the Top view camera.

Gaieus

When you draw a rectangle on the red/green plane, its back face (blue colour) is showing up by default. Right click and reverse faces to change that and now the front face (white) will show upwards.

I am not sure this is the problem but I can imagine.

Thanks Gaieus!! That was the problem

You made my day!!

JC,
Does THIS help at all?

Very useful indeed.
There must be a variable not shown in settings dialog which controls rotation on a specified axis.
(The default effect is visible in the road signs image).
It would be a great benefit to have that variable available, and a "jitter" control.
But the author has done a fantastic job.

Yeah. Though already a minority of the countries, still "the sun never sets over the countries that drive on the left".

And of course the land of the rising sun drives on the left.

I downloaded the plugin and extracted it to my plugins folder (SU and now get a runtime error anytime I open SU. Anyone else have this issue or have a solution?

Hi Gaieus, i found the zip file but it doesn't contains any runfile for installation. Sorry for my English,i'm from Greece.
Nevertheless, thank you very much.

SketchUp plugins are 8mostly) simple text files with an rb (for "ruby") extension. All you need to do is to extract all the content and then copy everything into the plugins folder of SketchUp which is by default (on a 32 bit windows) here:
C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\

Also, here is a sticky post about the installation of zipped plugins:
