        an olive tree with 1.2 million polys - purged and cleaned went down to 900k, then simplified the leaf comp went further down to 85k. ..what a ruby! πŸ˜†

          But materials seem to be applied on both front and back faces, so this should not be an issue because renderers will "see" the mat on the front face anyway. However I agree that having front faces should be better.

            hi

            working on mac mountain lion with SU v2013.

            PM Chris Fullmer re the scaling, I think he may have an answer...

            One request I would have is to allow loading from other Folders/Directories, it appears to be hard coded to Plugins Folder.

              I think Lumion and Revizto don't show back faces unless they have updated the problem. Revizto has an option to turn them on.

                Hi
                Thanks, it's very nice! When open SU this console is also on every start. Why?

                      Incredible plugin!! πŸ‘
                      I know is in beta phase but it has a great potential to make fantastic parametric trees.
                      Like previous comments when I open SU it appears Console window with warning messages, I use SU 8 on mac OSX 10.8.3.
                      In a quick testing all works fine on Mac, if you want I can help you to give support to translate the plugin to other languages, creating a file with strings for translation, I have done a lot of translations for SU plugins.

                          This is awesome, sure there are a few small things but wow! this is going to be a zinger of a plugin.

                          Anyway to get a console/applet for modifying the parameters and an update button?

                            If you rightclick on the tree you can change parameters. Is that what you wanted?

                              Just to inform you I made a script to create Sketchup 3D Trees. It's now a beta version,
                              Yours Pascal

                              Wonderful πŸ‘ - I was messing around last week with Tree[d] but this seems much more to my liking. Will surely test it tomorrow. Again a big πŸ‘

                                I saw that, what I'd like is a console/applet where I can do all the changes and update without clicking out to see results then right clicking to make more changes.

                                  Pascal, works fine here - and the trees look great - if you run Thom's 'Cleanup', you can further save yourself 40000 to 60000 polygons. outrageous plugin, this is going to be perfect when 2014 64bit comes out. 😲

                                    I am not sure if all renderers can handle materials from back faces. With Thea, it really does not matter generally, but some features like displacement, do use surface normals - then things will go wrong.

                                          Hi,
                                          I just downloaded and installed SU 2013 Make on Windows 7. And copied the 3darcstudio zip content to the plugin directory.
                                          Seems to work fine.
                                          Are you really sure you copied the subdirectory "3darcstudio" into the SU 2013 Plugins (not the Google old one)?

                                            So instead of

                                            t = Geom::Transformation.scaling(scale_factor)

                                            Do this:

                                            t = Geom::Transformation.scaling(scale_factor,scale_factor,scale_factor)

                                            That way it won't write the scale value to the 16th position, but will in fact do the math and distribute it across the entire matrix.

                                            Chris

                                            Thanks Chris, I will change the code according to your sample.
