[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy

charly2008

Hi John,

no, only the material for the tribe. Yes I have installed the "TIG mod".

driven

did you try it without the mod... john

charly2008

John,

yes i did. I have looked again at the contents of the texture folder (see pictures below). Can it be that something is missing here?

SKP-Files

Texture Files

I think it's to do with the image file name, I remember re-naming a complete set to replace the originals when I was playing with it.

early in the thread someone supplied a modified Textures folder [with different leafs], maybe look at that...

John,

I've tried the modified folder but no change. Even if the textures folder was deleted, wisteria, and ivy leaves appear the same. I do not understand, this is crazy!

Textures Folder deleted

Dear members,

I need an idea from you. How can I eliminate this material Wisteria? I've searched the entire hard disk, but these "Wisteria.png" is nowhere to be found. But these png must be stored somewhere. I feel like a beginner.

Problem solved. The png was saved in my template.

I give it up now. Now the plugin is working again. But now some leaves are again transparent and others not. I probably do not understand the workings of this plugin. I'll wait for an update.

THat's due to the prob that 2 images arent transparent png's open these to in a image editor and make them transparent and than re-import them into SU

Thanks for your answer. I have converted the jpg to png. I do not know if I've done anything wrong. I have attached the pngs below. If you watch it once I would be grateful.

You seem to be going round in circles.

This zip containing the three adjusted SKPs [and PNGs] that have hidden edges and already use proper transparent PNG files...
Replace those in the Textures folder...
Retry...IvyTexturesSKPs.zip

TIG,

I do not know how I can thank you. Sometimes you appear to me like the Robin Hood of the forum.

Did you mean, "it would be nice with" or "Could you please"?

Just saying, the wording can make a difference. Making freeware stuff and you end up with lots of demands from your users, it can get a bit tiresome. (Spoken by someone who makes lots of freeware.)

}

The default settings as extracted from the code.
Now you do some work resetting your values manually...

No worries.

I don't even have this tool installed !
The default adhesion seems to be 50 in the code I posted...
Why is yours 0.2 [20?] ??
Presumably the higher the adhesion value the more it sticks to the wall ???
