Thanks...did it work for you no problem?
Yes, worked for me as described...
Don't know what I'll use it for, but it's certainly kool. I mistook it doing something else though. I thought it would put this color or pattern where ever the shadow landed. not where it originated from.

That's some interesting plugin!
Thanks Renderiza -

Works for me in V7!
Edit: I was too speed!
The selector of color don't well appear!
But I can enter the number!
Any plugin for color the Shadows itself ?
Do you have the Windows Internet Explorer 9 or above installed? The color sample feature need it to run properly although its nice to know you can at least input number.
As for a plugin that changes the shadow color I have not seen that. From what I have seen the SketchUp API doesn't have a way to call the shadow color but not 100% sure. It will certainly be a nice addition to SU 2014...again thanks for feedback!

Making plugin put color or pattern where ever shadow lands while still be inside SketchUp will be pretty cool indeed. You can check out this plugin "NPR Tools" http://www.scriptspot.com/sketchup/plugins/nprtools-non-photorealistic-tools-for-sketchup it offers nice way to do what you suggested...the only thing is that it will work only on exported images and not give results inside SketchUp but it is still pretty good. Also they have nice library of sketchy texture that I like to use with Shadowtex...you just need to find the folder after you install it.

Thanks RenderizaYou welcome Anton_S!
By the way I forgot to add "model.start_operation("Shadowtex", true)" and "model.commit_operation" so that you only need to click undo once but I already made changes and will be posting update soon for that. Will be trying to change faces inside groups as well...Again thanks for feedback!

No, the IE6 is sufficient for me! 98 % of the plugins are working!

That is perfectly fine but please keep in mind that you may see new developers integrate HTML 5 & jQuery features to their plugins and that will open new possibilities in the future.
Cheers!

Guess not, since some things aren't working ! Plus, you're making devs' life harder.

Hi, in order to be more clear and avoid any confutions on what the plugin do I changed the description. Since English is not my main language and I am dyslexic it will be nice If I was to be corrected of any mistakes. Below is what a wrote...

Shadowtex targets a single ray from the center of a face, towards the direction of the sun and if a collision is detected preventing it from reaching that point, then it will be assumed that the face is in shadow. This method only works with loose faces, but if the plugin is activated while inside a group or component it will target all the faces there.
If shadows are only being projected in some areas of a single face, Shadowtex will not apply color or texture to does specific instances. Remember that the plugin only takes into consideration a single point on the center of the face and if that specific area is not on shadow it will assume the whole surface is like that as well.
Do not consider Shadowtex a one click solution, but instead a plugin that will require your assistance in completing a specific task.
Shadowtex is now on Trimble Extension Warehouse!

Note: If the latest version is not yet available at Extension Warehouse that means it is still awaiting to be approved by the quality assurance team to make sure extension meets the technical and security requirements.

small but a very nice idea!
as i see from your example, we should get texture on the projected as on the self shadow.
Maybe i did too few tests, but my projected shadow rests always the default one, without texture.Hm… -
Hi.
Can You look at the picture and tell why the faces are or are not in color???
It is just simply few faces drawn wiyhout any groups etc. SU 2019
