Jitter plugin?
-
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,

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

Thanks guys. I've been working with Jim on fixing me up. Much appreciated!

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.

or you can get it from the source (me.)
