[PLUGIN] Flowify v1.1.0 (updated 150327)

thomthom · 23 Mar 2015, 11:27

it looks like the "flow without" cut doesn't add triangles but unsfoften every edges.. can we have an option to preserve edge properties so that this tool could be more esily integrated in an organic/quadfacetools-friendly workflow?

Is v1.2 addressing texture mapping?

Good suggestion! This feature is now introduced in v1.1.0.

wow! thank you so much! it works fine!

Thank you Caul. fantastic extension.

on my pc the impose grid has no effect on the plane.

hence flowify shows errors (but at least it fires), got the 3 groups in place etc.
tried with a default plugins set up (flowify the only extension). no success.

attach the sample, in case someone can see any blindspots...

the tutorials were some of the best i've seen.

%(#BF0080)[EDIT: i think i made a mistake. i thought i could place the lines a bit inside the group, not always on the extremities. sorry the false alarm! ]

EDIT 2: %(#FF0000)[OUT OF THIS WORLD! ]

This is the most amazing thing I've seen in a while. Brilliant! I've been following a little... but, just took the time to really look at this. I can't believe what this does for workflow! I'm sharing this with friends... people have GOT to know about this.

Unless... of course... I'm the last one of my friends to start paying attention... either way. I'm really excited to use this. Thank you for sharing with us.

Hello Caul! I like it. I watched videos again many times, but I could not use it.
Please, share SketchUp files of examples with us. So everyone will know better. Thank you.

I've added an example file to the initial post. Hope that helps!

Seems you are not obliged to past the volume on the surface!

Would it be possible to have timer while flowify calculates?

cuttingedge · 14 Apr 2015, 03:42

@ pilou

Render real time by the free Visualizer 1.3

@pilou

"Render real time by the free Visualizer 1.3"

this is not right..the version you must pay

here a part of the main page

https://www.getvisualizer.com/

**"Why is it now free?
[b]ooops i have read "not" and not "now"
As part of Imagination Technologies’ longer term plans and investment to bring interactive ray-tracing to a mainstream mobile audience , we’ve decided to focus the Visualizer development team’s expertise on helping us bring a new generation of graphics chip technology to market. Unfortunately, there’s so much to do we’ve had to do this at the expense of ceasing all further development of the Visualizer product line.

Our final release 1.3 of Visualizer for SketchUp is the most capable yet, and we think every one of our thousands of Visualizer fans will want to use it. We have no plan for further changes to Visualizer for SketchUp beyond our 1.3 release."**[/b]

~~i´m not really sure, however maxwell for sketchup have a free version.

if you show renderings with Viz 1.3 than pay this please..provide the developer in this new project.
19.90 euro is not really expansive.. and you can better sleep if you use a registered version.

i know many developer here.. give away some plugins for free..however keep in mind...writing code, bugfixing etc. is lifetime, too..and many plugins are free and have safe my time... freeware is a good will...

example: if eneroth would work for the Townhouse System i would pay this. however Eneroth have actually not many time for this project.. im unhappy about this...however this is eneroth life time.
spend time is everytime a good will.. and when the plugin doing a good job..i can pay this..and i can sleeping well.~~

Have I missed something in the comments or is Visualizer 1.3 off topic?

Inspired from Chippwalters very nice video (http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18%26amp;t=62083#p568500) here a much simpler example...

... and after "Hide Overlapping Geometry" (thank you CAUL for this too again!)...

cotty · 31 May 2015, 09:35

"INPUT ERROR: Not enough Input".
Can somebody please help

Thanks in advance

You must have BOTH the support group and the source geometry selected before running Flowify. Below is a screen shot (from the example file) of what this looks like.
