Thanks Diggsey for this incredible plugin!
I have translated the plugin to spanish language.
SurfaceGen v0.8 spanish version -
nice plugin....THX
-
Me gusta este pluguin,se ve interesante, pero lo veo un poco complicado y de poco uso en Arquitectura, no sé si en otras carreras sea tan útil. Voy a buscarle una función. gracias Oxer.

@Diggsey
great plugin ! great job ! -
El otro dia dije "Gracias Oxer" cuando en realidad quería decir "Gracias Diggsey"
Disculpa. -
a test :
-
I feel like a 5 year old. The geometric forms created are gorgeous and I haven't the faintest idea how to use this.
-
Thank you very much! Good plugin -
Thanks you very great plugin
-
Very cool plugin!
But a progress bar could be very helpful. Because I 've installed it and by performing the plugin it seems to take hours to generate a surface and I don't know if it is really working!I've waited for more than 25 minutes for a simple eqation so I have to give up finally...
In other words, I can't get it work in my sketchup 8. -
a very nice plugin, ( as i have seen only in pics and shapes that you have created) but i don't understand where can i get equations for it? i want to make some fractal geometry but when i applied the equation it wont work. so can any body help me with this equation thing more..
and thank you

In other words, I can't get it work in my sketchup 8.I figured out that SurfaceGen has a conflict with another plugin calls 'Modelfuction'.
If you get Modelfuction installed in your sketchup, you can see the pop-up window by applying Surfacegen, but it will not create any surface.
I have uninstalled Modelfunction now and SurfaceGen works well!By the way this is really a awesome plugin. So it would be perfect if the author can get rid of the conflict with other plugins...
-
I far as I can see SurfaceGen does not use any unusual methods or interfere with base/built-in classes/methods. However, Modelfunction may well do that - there are a few scripts will ill-advisedly mess with these and thereby they affect other tools unpredictably [often messing with 'group', 'face' etc].
As Modelfunction is a paid tool [and you must be a customer] I suggest you contact the author direct to get him to fix his code... -
I haven't posted in ages, but I just noticed that there was a way I could improve the speed of this plugin. The new version only calls "eval" once to create a proc object which it then calls repeatedly, so it shouldn't have to keep parsing the expression each time.
-
I added version number and time of update to the thread title so it's easier to see the change when scanning the thread titles - also the Plugin Index works better then.

ah very cool!
Topmod and K3dSurf in a same place!
(you can take some formula from K3DSurf

For now, I'm just playing, but I have dreams of making some beautiful math sculptures like Bathsheba Grossmanmakes.
Topmod above is perfect for that

Wooow did you made does models? simply amazin.
can you share some tutotials? -
Wonderful tool, Diggsey. Many thanks. Nice that folks are sharing their settings. I wish someone with the appropriate skills or not would chart up some many examples, something like the pic below, and/or list many equations to experiment with. I do not have those skills. I had modeled something like the intersecting sine waves not long ago manually... tch, tch.

I have made the first
I have made a little tut video
(sorry in French but very visual)Else you will find some very cool tutorials videos here
(explore the site)
It's a very crazzy program!
By me (French UI too by me Don't make renders inside Topmod (export as OBJ Render here in ZBrush)
-
Model collection (as shown in previous post) for for you to add your model/s to.

hello! i need that for mathematical- educational purposes for sketchup make 2017 - or a similiar plugin, updatet to 2018. Does anybody have some information, where to get it. i couldn't find thomtoms surfacegen in the sketchucation-library. thanks, r. schaefer
