Definately a big shout out to Diddier for his awesome work on this script.
It's not perfect yet but it beats the hell out of connectin all those dots!
Great thread guys
glad I could contribute in a meaningful wayMajor props to Rob for his excellent work
Hey Rob-what is your background anyway? What are trained in? CG, Architect etc.just curious
I'm also guessing you are younger than me (i'm 34) which again will make me hate youTalk to you later
-
Yeah ypnos big thumbs up for the script thank you!
My background pff now that’s a hard one:
I started out with non digital design such as painting and drawing when I was 12, around when I was 14 I started digital design; I got all my basics down back then: everything from Photoshop to Illustrator to After Effects. When I was good enough I started doing some art commissions mostly posters and display boards and such. When I was about 16 I picked up 3D again got all my basics down in the first 3 months or so; maya, 3dsmax, vue, rhino, cinema4d you name it I used probably.
About 1.5 year ago I picked up Sketchup got it down within no time and really enjoyed it, got to know of FormFonts through Coen, after 6 months into SU and got in. Now I have been working for FormFonts for a year.
And so far I have done 2 years of Architecture at the Technical University of Delft.
And I am currently 20 years old yes
.
Think that about covers it. But trust me I have seen people which I am more than jealous of, people who make me look average. The higher you get the more difficult it gets to exceed in what you do. Trust me on this one.But thanks for the interest!

Rob
Thanks for sharing your background. You sound like a talented guy with a bright future. Glad we can exchange information and ideas in this forum. :thup:
Good luck to you man.

@ sorgesu:
I just used the script on a new model of mine, no problems with errors what so ever worked like a charm and saved me ALOT of work. And it connected two manually drawn curves in no time, after I set the curves in I was done within a minute or so. Amazing script, I will use this script in the future for sure.
@ ypnos:
No problem I always enjoy sharing my background, though the cold facts do sounds a lot better than it actually was. I had to work hard to get to the point where I am at now.
Talent has little to do with it I think??
I had to learn everything bymyself, I didn't had the help of great fora like this one with people who are very motivated to help. I had to do it myself which is a long and hard route to take. Im what you call an autodidact going through manuals and tutorials without any interaction with fellow artists and active feedback. Difficult but you get to understand a program MUCH better not faster unfortunately. So it will pay out in the end.
I still remember when I started drawing, it was in elementary school, I was in the 5th grade I believe, out of the 8 that is. And I was totally excited that I had discovered single point perspective all by myself (didn't even know what it was called back then
). I still think back to that moment to remember what it was that motivated me to teach all that stuff myself. I can't recommend everyone the same path but it'll sure help you get grips on Graphical Design and the tools involved with that.And I have seen your work ypnos, you are also more than a talented guy, glad we have you here! Don't you dare be jealous of me!

i'm old school baby
check out some of my pre-Sketchup action.
Thanks for the compliment and insight Rob. Good chatting with you - hope you dig some of my work too.
One last question ------ if you know how to use more advanced modeling softwares, why do you use Sketchup over the others? Is the SU community any different from other modeling communities? Just curios

Damn Ypnos, I've always loved that project. It was published some time ago, right? I am going to build one in my backyard so I can escape from the kids when I need to (usually once every few hours).
-
Rob, I got the error when I tried to use it with all 4 surfaces at once.
-
I got the same thing Susan. I am finding it easier in most instances to use the "from contours" Sandbox tool. Still a nice script however.

Censored to protect your privacy Boofredlay + Susan
I don't know why but sandbox tool yielded a very strange result for me (see attached image) You guys didn't have this problem?Censored to protect your privacy Susan
I only got it to work when selecting two faces at a time but not all at once
Censored to protect your privacy Jeff
Jeff glad to hear you are around in here checking things out. That project is following me around - it was built in 2004 and it has been published a dozen times. That normally would be a good thing, my only problem is i haven't built anything of substance since. I've designed a lot of cool stuff but somehow finances fall through, clients move/change their minds etc. So every time I see it I get depressed not because it wasn't a great project but because so much time has elapsed since a thoughtful project of mine got built......
Anyways - sorry for leading this thread astray everybody - wandering is a bad habit of mind that has followed me into this forum.
Talk to you guys later
-
ypnos1, no attached image but I think I know what you are talking about.
If you look at the small tut I made Here I rotated the bottom arcs to face "upwards". The sandbox tool assums you are creating terrain so I believe the geometry you want to stitch needs to be facing upwards.Make sense???
-
don't know why the attachment didn't work...i'll try it again
ok
got it....the image was to large
-
Boofredlay
I must have missed your tut sorry. I make sense. I never thougth that running contours was direction specific as you have demonstrated in your tutorial. I have one more question.
If you didn't rotate the geometry 90 deg as you have done but changed the z-axis 90 would that be and easier thing? Probably 6 of one 1/2 dozen of another.
thanks for the clarity
Ypnos -
Probably easier that way, yes.
-
There are also other idyosincrcies ( drat how do you spell that?) with using sandbox. I think it might help if you don't have a bottom or side edges when you run it over the horizonatl contours because, as you see in the Ypnos example, it wants to stitch to the bottom edges too, otherwise.
-
@ Susan:
I also got it to work for 2 curves not for 4 at once.@ Ypnos:
Nice project, love the atmosphere, and straying from the topic isn't bad in this case, some nice things came out of it -
Coen,
Many sincere apologies. Sorry about the image size man. I didn't read your previous message regarding file size - i'll be more careful in the future. Please remove my original image if its size is burdonsome.
As far as posting the ruby script....honestly i'm a architect naive in the ways of mischeavous scripts. Fortunately the people who download the script I posted have reported no anomolies in the script because I posted it in the exact way I recieved it. I'll try and post the link to the script itself next time.
Again sorry about overstepping boundaries on this forum....no offense intended.
