      Without having tested it, I think this would only be useful if it created tileable textures πŸ‘

        Tileable textures is what SymmetryMill does! Thanks! Olga

          We posted a new version of our SymmetryMill plug-in for SketchUp. Compared with earlier prototypes, the new version (0.2.0) is quite stable, and can even be used for production work. We consider it an advanced beta before the final release. There are also three tutorials to go with it:

          • Applying Textures to SketchUp Models (Basics)
          • Applying Textures to Curved Surfaces
          • Using the Color by Layer Style

          http://artlandia.com/labs/imgs/tutorials.png

          Let us know what you think! At this stage, we'd be happy to give a free subscription to SymmetryMill if you be the first to report a bug πŸ˜‰

          And finally, would there be interest in holding a little contest? You would take a SketchUp model (yours or from 3D Warehouse) and apply a SymmetryMill pattern that you create (or grab for free from Pattern Central)... We could also give away a SymmetryMill subscription as a prize.

          Please reply if interested (or email to info@artlandia.com) and we'll come up with some rules.

          Thanks,
          Olga

            I think you need better examples. Not clear by the site what it does different then other plugins as it a[[lies to SU..
            But could be me, it usually is.

              OK, how about this:

              1. Select a surface in SketchUp.
              2. Fire up the plug-in; get a SymmetryMill pattern applied to your surface as a material (texture).
              3. Edit your pattern; see your model updated.

              If you just need bricks/other building materials/other ready-made textures applied to your model, you don't need this plug-in (there are plenty of textures already available, many for free). But if you want your own patterns applied as textures, then consider SymmetryMill.

              Re. more/better examples, we are working on that, but did you follow the links on this page? πŸ˜„

                  Well, SymmetryMill is supposed to do its job (which is interactive texture editing) with whatever texture mapping you choose. Here's what I get with the two methods I tried, projected and UV Tools (both with their own limitations):

                    OK then.
                    Do Projected, UV Tools


                    & Your Plugin.
                    That's what I'm talking about.
                    It would be sooo clear with all three...get it?

                      Projected is already done, for a fashion model (that is, a generic case; see the end result at the bottom of the page). You'd map on a sphere EXACTLY the same way. UV Tools? Hmm, might be an idea.

                      But the point is that this plug-in's purpose in life is to work with whatever projection method you like. We can certainly add other examples too.

                            Could user add gap on the material sides. Instead of making the texture seamless, user can insert/add gap (space)
