[Plugin] Make Fur v.2.1.0(20140323)

[Sharkyzero]

I don't seem to be getting the results everybody else is. I make a grass square and make it a component, then I try to use the crowd maker and it puts the grass everywhere else other than what I have selected. Anybody else have this problem? Also, how do you get so much grass? My comp is no slouch and it virtually crashes whenever I try to get more than a little bit in view.

Hi,Sharkyzero.

I need to know your detail to help the problems.
Please upload screenshot of your model and crownd maker dialog.

Thanks.

I just realized something, Tak. I think the fact that I'm not using instances of the grass components is screwing with everything. Let me fiddle around with it some more and I'll see if I can't get it working the way I think it should.

Hi,Sharkyzero.
Good luck for fiddle around with it.
Please ask me when you didn't get it working fine.

Thanks.

Hi,chillotti.
I guess you didn't use autoinstall from sketchupucation store tool.
You must unzip the rbz file when you manually install it.
Change the extenstion name "rbz" to "zip".and unzip it.
"fur_en.rb" and "fur_en" folder will be shown.
Copy both to plugin folder.
And New Icon file "fur_en.rar" must unzip ,also.
Copy the created png file to "fur_en" folder in plugins folder.

Thanks.

This was working previously for me but there are certain components that dont seem to want to constrain the surface I select. The preview shows everything in the right place but then they appear randomly spread out in mid air over a huge area when I do it. Its only certain components with the same settings so I don't get it. Has anybody had this issue before?

Hi, wondering if someone could please help me.

I've been using make fur fine for the last while, but it has suddenly stopped working completely.

I know how to use it, but now when I push the Make Fur button, nothing happens. No collecting faces, nothing. I'm at a loss. Has anyone ever experienced something like this?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

[Dave R]

Have you recently installed any new plugins that might be messing with this one? Maybe the Vray plugin or Sketchy Physics?

Nope, no new plugins as of late.

Was working earlier this week, now won't work whatsoever, no new plugins installed since.

Have tried everything I feel. Played with all the options, components, new sketchup files, restarting computer, blah.

Any other suggestions?

[TIG]

If you try using it with the Ruby Console open are there any error messages ?
Have you recently changed things that might have affected your Plugins folder's security permissions?
Select its icon, right-click > context-menu > Properties > Security > Edit... make sure every user/group listed has FULL read/write permissions ticked.
Apply/OK
Also select the SketchUp.exe icon and similarly: right-click > context-menu > Properties > Compatibility > Check the box 'Always run as administrator' > Apply/OK...
Restart SketchUp...
If it still fails to work...
In the ../Plugins/fur_en folder there's a file called fur_param3.ini, edit it with Notepad and delete all of the entries, then save it: now 'fur' should start on a SketchUp restart with its default settings...

[tak2hata]

Hi,ikeda and mjursevs.
Please do as TIG says.

Please tell me the detail of your problems,When still there were the problem.
Open "Ruby Console" in sketchup "windows" menu.
And Start "Fur".
when there is any message includes "error",
Please copy the all message and post here.

I have no materials of the inference for your problems.
Thanks.

[platalay]

very great plugin

Thank for your time

[lasrador]

This is just brilliant.. Don't know how i missed this for so long. Now that vray2.0 is proxy enables the possibilities are limitless.. Convert a grass component into a proxy on sk (Though 3dsmax allows the porxy to be simplified further), import it into the model and scatter the proxy. You have a feather weight model with the punch of a heavy weight! Awesome work tak2hata!

this was my first attempt at grass..

Thank you

Is there a good userguide somewhere? I downloaded the plugin and cannot figure it out. Managed to get some grass on a surface but it disappeared as soon as I moved the image. Tried the crowd function but nothing...

Tried youtube but it hung (got an old PC and lousy internet). Userguide will be fantastic.
