      I'm looking for a script which randomly moves the points in a group (or selection, either or both). Ideally one would set the amuont of 'jitter' for the points using a dimension. So, for instance if one 'jittered' a set of faces by 1/2 inch then all the points would move in a random direction by 1/2 inch, thus creating a "distressed" look for the object. I assume SU would automatically triangulate the resulting faces for correct display.

      Does anyone know if such a plugin exists? Would anyone like to write one (I can pay $$)? I would think this would be a pretty simple task, and I'd jump in and try, but I know zip about Ruby and SU and don't right now have the time to learn.

      Thanks in advance for any help or insight to such a plugin.

      best regards,
      Chipp

        Someone not too long ago, perhaps Jim, wrote a Greeble (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greeble) plugin. This sounds like something along the same lines.

          look up the protrude ruby... sounds like what you're looking for. πŸ˜‰

          unfortunately the link I had for that thread is now weird - it links to a thread, but not the right one... after changing the forum, obviously the thread link numbers changed. πŸ˜’

          I think it's just called 'protrude.rb'.

              If you do find protrude.rb - do you think you can re-post it here, and/or send it over to Didier's site?
              That would be great ...

                Here we go, it can be found on Didier Bur's website Ruby Library Depot. If you simply used a Google search you could have had your answer earlier.
