[Plugin] Greeble 2 released! (Updated August 31st, 2009)

Yeah, I think the inputbox has to be recalled each time you want to use it Frenchy.
And Pibuz, I will make a grid and divide into 10cm boxes and try the script. Are you trying to offset it more than 5cm?
If it helps, I use a grid that is roughly made up of boxes that are 9m x 9m. So the deafult values will work best on a much larger grid than 10cm. Maybe just try it on a larger grid for starters. I think you will run into issues if you are trying to offset the face more than is tolerable.

Hi Chris!
I made a rar file containing all that you requested.
-skp file
-greeble.rb
-progressbar.rb
-offset.rb
-screenshots of the problemThank you so much. You're so kind...
-
...Oh, BTW: I tried to use protrude.rb by Jim Foltz, and it appears to have the same problem.
I'm starting to feel like I've sort of a plugin conflict...
-
ok, we're getting somewhere. It is possible that you are experiencing a problem that component spray tool is causing. Get the newest release here:
http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=16446&p=129280That might very well fix the problem. Let me know if it does,

Yey! everything works allright now!!! Thank you so much!
Sorry to have been such a pain in the ***, chris...Thank you again!
-
Nope, absolutely not a pain at all. Thanks for staying around until we could find the fix. I really want my script to work for everyone.

...I owed it to you
Thank you Chris!
PS. Rendered in Indigo. I'm trying a blend map between pure gold shader (metal nk) and stone (diffuse bumpy shader). One night of calculations. I was looking for an high-contrasted image, to give the all scene a dark overall feeling. What do you think? Volume light in postpro.
-
Hey, that looks great! I don't know much about shaders, but the image sure looks good. Glad I could help,

hey guys! i've tried searching and can't find it..... was there ever a plugin that randomly divides a face?
There is one on the web that says it is in production (but that was updated August '08)
Thanks in advance!

The competitor of this one
Sheesh!, get me in trouble with Jim!
Actually, you'd probably have to say my script is a competitor of protrude, since I wrote mine long after Jim wrote his (and Tig wrote his and Didier had written his
) For me it was just a great script to write to help me learn how to write scripts. Its largely inferior to Jims.Plus I know Jim had been working on a true greeble with little greebles added to all protruded faces. I want him to finish that one!
-
But Zorro2 by Whaat is cool too and give you more control
And works also for a 3D object!

(yes Protrude has just the Button to press between each generation
-
well i had protrude already (go figure)
but when i press 'divide' on a rectangular face it does nothing.... any ideas?
-
You must select face or object not grouped first!
Except that no idea -
hahah fortunately for me i got THAT far.... i select the face and just click away an nothing happens, maybe i will try to re-download it
[edit] redownloaded and reinstalled with same issue as before.... this is too weird... i can select rectangle, then choose Protrude... the dialogue box pops up, i hit divide and nothing.... weird...

It's my fault - it doesn't work on a Mac and I don't have a Mac to try it on. I'm sure I could get it to work. Anyone want to buy me a Mac?
-
i'll model you one if that helps.
-
haha i wont buy you one Jim, but youre more than welcome to test on mine! let me know if i can help!
-
So goto the Protrude thread and ask your problem !
Maybe it's because you have a MacDamned crossing post
-
Ressurecting the dead - or at leas the long forgotten!
But I've updated this script, and its a big enough update that I thought I'd post and let people know. Two main things are that it now works inside of groups and components and does not cause bug splats! (that was a big bug I never noticed until about 3 weeks ago, oops!). Also, the script remembers your settings between uses (but not between SketchUp sessions).
So if you have an old copy (include clf_greeble.rb or an old clf_greeble2.rb) please delete them and install this one.
UPDATE August 31, 2009
2.20:: 2009-08-31-
Fixed a MAJOR bug that would cuase SketchUp to crash when greeble was used inside a group or component. So yes, you can now safely use Greeble inside a group or component!
-
Changed some code that should theoretically speed things up ever so slightly....frankly I don't think it helped.
-
Changed some code to make it run smarter, skip certain methods if they were not being executed.
-
Fixed some code that could cause problems when faces would overlap.
2.21:: 2009-08-31 -
Now user input settings are rembered between script uses.
