I'll have to find something else then...
(Good thing that Chris is now a global mod and he can clean up his own topic of these OT posts)
-
Whats this about cloned avatars?
-
please take us easy
-
Well the fad just passed in my time zone, so you are off the hook Gaieus.
-

Ahh, that was good for a laugh! Sorry to attack your icon Gaieus, it was hurting my head too.
Of course I don't have my old avatar accessible right now, so I made this one for now. I like it.
Back on topic (or not, whatever).

Unles you deleted it when uploading this (or the previous),it has to be somewhere in the Avatar folder of phpBB. I think it's about time to make a mugshot gallery anyway - then everybody can mine theirs out.

Great work Chris...the installation does not seem to be working for me.....am i not supposed to simply plonk in the files to the plugins folder?
-
Hi Chris,
Am really excited to use this....i however get the following message " No such file to load -- clf_simple_loft/clf_simple_loft.rbError Loading File clf_simple_loft_loader.rb
No such file to load -- clf_simple_loft/clf_simple_loft.rb"PLease help!
Thanks a lot

You should be seeing a single file called clf_simple_loft_loader.rb and then a folder that has all the other files in it. You need to keep that same directory structure intact when you copy the files into the plugins folder. Some version of winzip ignore directory structure, so you might not be able to do a simple drag and drop operation. You might have to go through there "Extract to" process.
Hope that helps, let me know if it does not.

works perfectly now. Thanks a ton....!

another query...uve already mentioned that the number of nodes in the different curves needs to be the same... is there a way to change the number of nodes in a curve to match the other ?
Thanks

Thanks man, have only been waiting for this for like 5 years
It is a very good start and i am looking forward to this becoming a real loft tool.Thanks again!

@abspandey - glad its working now. Check back regularly or in a few days or something. I'm working on making it work with splines of different segment lengths, but currently its still a little buggy. It works about 90% of the time, but that 10% has been difficult to pin down. So once I get it debugged, I'll post the working version. And that will hopefully be in a few days.
@fakircho - Glad you like it. and yes, its just a simple loft tool for now. I have some VERY big plans for it, assuming a find some VERY big chunks of time in my life to devote to it. So hopefully over the next year or so I'll get a full version released. But I make no promises.

you mean... by 2010????
and I was thinking it would be like... next month...

Theyre very time consuming things, these ruby scripts.
-
If I had your math brain Remus, it might be easier. And in fact, what I have in mind to implement should simplify some of the script, while exponenetially increasing the "awesomeness" of it. But seriously, I have to learn some math first.
And I'm sorry I haven't released the version that accepts splines of any amount of segments. Its still being worked on.....grrrr

Guys, don't know what to tell you, the combination of working plugins by the community especially this one!! and the free transform 2 tools make sketchup more powerful than 3ds max and hopefully soon even rhino. I can't believe it, thanks alot!
