The problem is with the compspray.rb
Update it from here:

Didier had a bug in it that was breaking the progressbar, but he fixed it nicely. So just update that, then it should work.
Let me know if that does not help.

It didn't work with new compspray, but I removed it and it worked!

I see you are on Vista.
There is a good chance that when you tried to install compospray, Vista played a dirty trick on you. It has a hidden file system called "Compatibility Files" where it puts things without telling you. So try this.
- Delete the existing compospray.
- In the Plugins folder, towards the top is a button called "Compatibility Files" (or maybe Folders). - Click it.
- Now your in a new folder, probably with other scripts. Cut and paste them all back into your regular plugins folder manually.
- If there is a compospray in there, delete it too.
- Now reinstall compospray, and be forewarned that it might end up in compatibility files world, so go track it down, and cut and paste it back into the plugins folder.
- now start SU again, see if shape bender works and if compo spray is installed and working.
I know its lame and a bit of work. Vista just does it to keep us safe
Hope that helps,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Another thing i think it would be great to fix for a next update is that construction points and construction lines they follow the Bend processes.

Ahh, thats a good idea! I see if I can get that to work.

Chris,
I stripped all the rubies out and it worked. I know that I should add the others back in one at a time but I have soo many scripts with references i keep getting lost on which ones need each other. Can you take a look at the screen dump and see if anything jumps out at you.
Here is the console text aswell

Hi Lex, that is a good question. I think someone else had also asked about that previously. I'm not sure how easy or hard it will be to do. I pretty much never use textures and I've never touched them using Ruby yet, so its possible it might be pretty straightforward.
When I re-work this script, I'll see if I can get it to treat textures better.

Thanks for the quick answer, I was searching for some plugin that help me to create a road, and ajust the texture to fit in the curves. This could be a very good tool
Anyway, thank you very much for this plugin!
Cheers

That was me. And I'm still looking forward to that.

Bonjour Chris,
What a plugin! I enjoy the originality of the approach, I am surprise by it great power, and I applaud to it accomplishment
I had made some studies with it and here are some of the results
ShapeBender Basics Studies:
Basic Studies SlideShow(Adobe PhotoExpress)
ShapeBender_Wrap Test
Wrap Test SlideShow >>or the album (Picasa Album/Slideshow)
(I noticed some difficulties, but I'll tell you later)

It's working fine again after compspray removing too on Mac

Oh good, glad its working Coronel. There is a new version of component spary that you can download and safely install. Didier fixed it up so it doesn't conflict with anything.
