[Plugin] Greeble 2 released! (Updated August 31st, 2009)
-
Ummm, what?
-
It was probably sunken to page 11 of the Ruby Forum. He must have been surprised how that comes although this is such a great plugin
Roy, there IS a reason; this forum is quite active and not only due to the published plugins but also to the technical discussions between the scripters.
Here is a better (cleaner) list of the plugins published on this forum so far (not totally proof though)

SketchUp 6.4.265 on Windows XP
As a newbie, apparently I'm missing something that a more experienced modeler would take for granted.
I downloaded Greeble 2, along with Progress Bar and Offset. Put them in the Plug-ins folder. After a re-start, "Chris Fullmer Tools" appears in Plug-ins menu.
I select a grouped rectangular box with Juniper vegetation texture. I want to add some roughness to the surface. So I select the Greeble tool and enter some numbers. After clicking OK, nothing happens. I also trying selecting just one surface, but no go.
I was assuming the tool would draw a 2D grid with my +/- dimensions, then pull each piece up to a random height. If I could get some kind of response, I could then play with the numbers to get the look I want : pointy pyramids may do the trick.
Do I need to draw a grid before selecting the tool? Is there an auto grid tool? Should I greeble one face at a time? What do I need to do before invoking the Greeble tool?
Thanks for covering my ignorance with your intelligence.
-
Hi jhearcht, it should work. But it does require a grid be drawn first. It will extrude each face, so if you just have one large face, it can extrude that face only. If you have a thousand faces, it then extrudes all those faces.
As a note, this plugin is apparently broken with SketchUp version 8.0 for now. I need to look into a fix for it. (but it should be working with version 6.x like you have).
You could upload your model and I'll see if I can play with it and see if there is some odd error if that would help,
Chris

Sketchup 7 windows7 pro 64
Hi all, I am in need of some advice re the Greeble plugin. I seem to follow the workflow in the tutorials/videos but with no effect. Not a ripple. Have tried on planes/grids/boxes/spheres.
Any advice appreciated.
thanks in advance, Craig

(I am in meters unity)I suppose that is the problem
I have also nothing when I input inch unity
surely measures are not accorded and i don't want have an headache for make conversion
for have the good measures
so I take meter unity for simplify my lifeDraw a simple box (7,6,4) select it and input numbers as shown
If you don't obtain something like this there is a problem
click image for zoom

Hi, I tried again to use the greeble with the numbers in your parameters. Some success. It ceases to work at all when I input something into the offset parameters. I have tried in on a box and a sphere with the same results.
I have the offset.rb installed in the plugins folder along with the progressbar.rb and the greeble
any ideas as to where I am going wrong.

Please do download the file and see if it is possible to solve my problem. The file was created in the latest version of Sketchup.

This is made with my old Latticeizer script, 3cm frames and default pane with some PudhPull on the panes [with existing lines NOT kept] afterwards...

Please note the presentation that I have made in the attached file. That's exactly what I need. In some cases, I do not use handles in aluminum bar. I use ordinary handles. So I do not pull over 3cm from top face to bottom. In some cases, I use different spaces for 0.5cm, as requested by the woodworker or architect that I work. Thank you for your attention.
One day I will no more bore you, because I'm trying to learn Ruby Script. Thanks.

This plug is always very funny
-
Pilou, you crack me up! Great stuff as always.
Chris
PS - what is your artistic style called, with all the vibrant colors and nonsensical shapes? I thought I remembered you using a term once that I found very interesting.
-
Surely "Flashy"
for the other term I don't remember. 
Speedy Strange surreal geometrical attractor ?
Because I don't spend more ten minutes by scenes!
If you have 5 minutes you can see some Zbrush folish
(section Zibi Art )PS You have remarked that I have an immoderated use of your crazy "Random Painter" plug with SU

can't get no greeble
-
Go to SMustard
(it's free) -
c'est installé avec tout ce qu'il faut mais ça ne fonctionne pas...
-
Can you upload a simple model that you are trying to use it on that is not working? And also possibly open the Ruby Console (from the Window menu) and then run the plugin and see if it displays any errors there. Please paste those errors here.
This script does not always behave well...

set to meters as Pilou suggested
trying to greeble a simple 100 x 100 square :
#Sketchup::Face:0x24e2b624 did not offset:

Bertier
The error in line #250 is when it tries to get a normal
new_vector = cl_newface.normaland the facecl_newfacedoesn't exist.
It is made by offsettingewhich is one ofclface[s]around lines #236 et al...
Not sure what's causing it... Chris?
