[REQ] follow me rotate

Gaieus

Hi Jacue,

Not sure if this is what you are fter but there is a plugin called RotaPushPull in the Ruby library depot.

silver_shadow

maybe this will clarify a bit..
say if you want to make a cable...or a rope or a wire...couldnt this be cool
so instead of having this way below...you have the thing rotated making it look more believable to be a wire

Try Moi Moment of Inspiration Same easy use than SU
Sweep 2 Rails is for you, and you can export in SKP format in Beta v 2.0 (only for owners of the V1.0)
By JBShorty

As you have some plug like this, + a function Curve Array along a path mix it and you will have some old cables

Er, I'm not sure what this link relates to. The whole page is Chinese, and to be honest, on an English Language forum the overwhelming majority of us aren't able to read any of this.

If there is a Ruby plugin which can do this (as your post seems to suggest), it would be great if you could post it here. I'm sure loads of people would find it really useful.

Yes, Wikii, it would be nice to share with us the ruby you've created. I tried to translate and navigate the BBS page and even tried to register in order to have a try with the ruby, but with no luck. Telling us you've created this ruby without sharing is such a tease!
I could really use this for one of my current projects. Thanks in advance.

I too would like to see such a ruby in action. However the only way I can see that possible is a 3rd party app, below is an example using an imported SU chord and twisting it using Hexagon2.2

I split the plugin from this request thread.

There is another ruby, however I do not remember where i got it or who made it. It's called 'rotated push pull' below is how it works.

Hm. That was my first idea, too. See above.

Hi all, has anyone out there been able to get "Follow Me Rotate" to work on SU17.
I have tried many different downloads but no luck yet.
Any help would be awesome
Many thanks, Murray
