Downloaded the plugin again but the .rb file named "ropesketch_ropefall" seems missed.

thanks for checking massimo. It seems I have an issue in the build process, I'll correct it in the evening (EU time).

Roping around...

torel · 3 May 2016, 19:51

wow... why can't I do that?

JQL · 3 May 2016, 19:53

You shouldn't compare yourself with massimo... he's always pulling off stunts like those!

Okay, I tried this and do like it on simple drops, however it's very slow on moderate drops, wished it was faster or there was a way to input a less complicated fall (maybe less smooth).

Next I want to drape a rope ladder however this plugin is limited to a single rope, any plans to expand this?

torel · 6 Nov 2016, 09:31

Solo, thanks for the feedback.

The speed depends mainly on how complex the model is underneath the rope sketch. More precisely, underneath the upper X-Y square of the bounding box around the polyline. So you can speed up roping by temporarily hiding model parts in this volume.

What do you mean by "this plugin is limited to a single rope"? You can draw as many ropes as you wish, see Massimo's example pics above. So whats your plan exactly?
