[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy
-
When I use Vray to render geometry generated with Sketchup Ivy, the leaves don't render the same size as they appear in sketchup.
I've seen this issue noted by others here, when using Thea render if I'm not mistaken.
Other than exploding all the leaf components before rendering, I haven't found any other solution to solve this issue.
Exploding all the leaves causes model sizes to be quite large.Is there any way to render the ivy without exploding? (I've combed the forum here, and all over the internet, so forgive me if I've missed something).
Attached are 2 images illustrating the issue.
Thanks for an amazing plugin!

Instalatin was succesfull, i restarted sketchup, i tryed to run it from 'Draw' menu, but it's still not work. Do you know how to help me somehow.
Thanks Kristyna -
Have you tried running it with the Ruby Console open ?
Can you provide a screen-shot of what you have got and what error messages you see [if any].Also is your Windows user-name SketchUp/Ruby friendly ?
I notice you have accented characters in your 'real name'.
Sometimes extensions have issues it the path to the user's Plugins folder contains unusual letters...
Can you copy+paste+<enter> this text into the Ruby Console and post the returned path...
Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')
It should be something like:
C:/Users/YourUserName/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins -

I have the same issue to render with Thea Render, is there some solution?
Request:
TIG made some changes in the ruby code to introduce a new feature to place different leaves, would be possible to implement the feature to save presets settings?Thanks in advance!!

i miss one info thing in the usage tab, when using command on the mac the ivy grows to cursor location. Quite nice to "guide" the growth.
edit
never mind i just noticed it under keys
-
does anyone have a backup of the library from kris, it contains leaf textures and some models?

Rombout, see this reply http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=36882%26amp;start=540#p545506

great thanks! i was searching for different name

Thanks for the incredible plugin, but is there any update version working with latest Su?
-
-
Strange.... also it is written that works with su version 8-2015....
P.S.
Yeah finally worked! -
It was rewritten to work with v2015.
When the notes were written it was correct, the update meant it worked with PC & MAC v8 up to v2015 - as there was no v2016 at that time !Note that 99.9% of scripts that work with v2015 will also work with v2016.
It is not signed, so the newfangled v2016 Extensions Loading Policy needs to be set at the lower level[s] to allow it to run, but otherwise it should work just as v2015 usage... -
Hi Kris,
Could you re-upload the package? It would be very helpful.
Thanks for sharing

Ok, since we figured out who Gordon is and I saw his posts contributing to the community, I'm going to assume everything in my folder is up for grabs.
Now don't go installing this unless you know what you're doing. Let Tig, Rich, Oxer and Myself sort them out, clean them up and see how they should fit in. We'll offer them up in a combined pack afterwards.
Here it is.

Here's what it contains.

Unfortunately, the guide posted in your previous entry (http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=36882%26amp;start=540#p545506) seems to no longer work? I cant get access to it - can any of you in here? Maybe I'm mistaking?
The package I was thinking of was based on a screenshot earlier in this thread. It seemed to have more than the 10 leaves in the zip package - is there no more than those 10 leaves? Not to sound ungrateful, I just want to make sure I'm understanding it right
-
I'll PM you a collection of extra leaves...
-
Great, I'll try it out first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks!
Anyone who also has the forementioned jpg image "guide"?

Hello,
I am using the plunging on sketch, and all is ok.
But when i export into Atlantis Render 6, the leafs moved over the branch.
Somebody can help me ?
Thanks

There is a known issue with SketchUp Ivy and some file export to renderers where the image size is distorted by the receiving app...
Although your images are way too small to see the issue, I suspect that is what is wrong...
