      Good morning everyone,
      I am trying to place a pile of nails into a sketchup model.
      Is there a plugin that can place a nail component into a random or scattered bunch?
      Thank you

      make fur plugin

            Component Spray?

            I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

              jiminy-billy-bob has posted around he's been working on a scatter plugin... That might be the one you want, but I guess you'll have to wait a bit.

                  That would be cool. I tried it with some logs and got some funny results. Though they didn't seem like wood falling, more like rubber.

                      Here a quick nail emitter. You have to install SketchyPhysics before. Not a new thing but always funny. Pause Physics on the desired position an save the SketchUp file as a copy an you will get the pile of nail.

                        Then it wouldn't be so funny...

                              Experiment with indigo renderer (focal point, aperture).
                              Motion blur with copies and different transparency.

                                excellent! Isn't indigo capable of rendering su sections? would it render that scene with a section passing through it?
