Instancing in indigo
-
Thats an interesting twist, Random color. How exactly is this done. Does the random color get assigned in sketchup via su ruby? I use kerky and this would be a nice feature with proxies instancing.

Well whaat said he did it by modifying skindigo (the indigo exporter for SU) so it was probably done by skindigo when it was writing the scene file. Could be wrong though...

i remeber seeing an instancing test on the indigo forums which had 200 billion faces, i was impressed by the number alone.
200.000.000.000 faces! if every 0 were a cheeseburger I would be quite full now
(cheeseburgers as random sample to show how many zeros there are)by the way. if you say: my model has XXX polygons - do you normally mean edges or faces? I think it is edges (because you can have one face, defined by a polygonal line...)

Ive always taken it to mean faces, but then im probably wrong. I just guessed it meant that

Well it took ages, but heres my first one:

awesome work remus, very nice indeed.

In case your wondering the dancers were actualy meant to be standing up, but i forgot the component was originally lying flat. Might go and change it when i get half a chance.

now it is more yoga than dancing

I'm a VUE 6 xstream user too, but as I know, in vue you can not instance objects with the same dimension. It variated the scales of the objects, so I can't use that system to brushed such as a crowed. Any solutions you can help me? Thanks. -
bobu,
Vue standard (released version) only has the replicate function that can scatter objects of the same size, however the instancing brushes vary the sizes. There are a few Python scripts for instancing identical sizes with variations on twist, rotation etc. I have had no need for such a python as I need the randomized sizes for my ecosytem brushes however if I come across those scripts I wil send you the link (or if Chipp Walters sees this he may have such a script in his arsenal)
Scatter method:
