[Plugin] Make Fur v.2.1.0(20140323)

Pixero

Mate you can select the surface and make alternatives to fill the same space so that the components aren't all the same!

Thats not what I was after.

Styling fur/hair/grass is a way of...styling it to suite the geometry like combing hair on a head.

"Guide hairs" is a way of using a few strands too control placement and direction and styling of a at render time full dense fur/grass/hair.

Here are two links to other fur solutions that explains combing:

Sorry mate I understand now! Yes certainly an option to force specs easier than it certainly could be without work! Though that said this is the first we have seen of this plug so who knows, good idea though!!!!

Hi, All.
I updated make fur plugin version to 1.3a(test version).

Because I changed the format of the preset, it is not compatible with the one before.
Please warn you.

Thanks.

Just keeps getting better!

Thank you for the update tak2hata!

Perhaps in next versions you can put all the options in a submenu? Something like the attachment.

Why metric and imperial? Why not just deal with the units in the way that the model is?

Hi,Daniel.
I Changed menu items into sub menu named "Fur_v1_3".

Hi,Thomas.
Because I think it easy to test both imperial and metric.
I am not accustomed to the imperial.
I will corrects it in future version.
Thanks for your advice.

The Numeric, Float and String class has some nice methods that let you deal with units in the user's locale and in the current model's units.

Hi, Thomas.
Thanks ! I'm searching for that method.

Basically:

Ensure the units you use are Length objects. Length.to_s will output a unit in the user's locale and model settings. This is useful when presenting units in the UI, like for inputboxes etc.

Then you have String.to_l, which is useful to convert user input into Length. If a user types "100mm" it then .to_l will convert that into the appropriate Length. (Length is always in SU's internal units: inches)

"100m".to_l
becomes:
3937.00787401575

If the user has mm set as the model units, then "100" (without any unit indication) is assumed to be in mm and the result is:
"100".to_l 3.93700787401575

same thing as if the user had typed "100mm"
"100mm".to_l 3.93700787401575

Hello every body,

I found this plugin today. It look amazing. Ihave made the grass but i don't know why it isn't render in Vray ? I'm sure it's a specific option i have to check but i don't found it.

I use Skectchup pro 7.1.6, Vray for sketchup 01.05.30, and Fur Plugin 1.3.

I can send you a screenshot or a file if you need.

Thanks you for your help
Emile

This is due to a Sketchup bug and groups. The groups will render when you reopen the model.
The latest VfSU does not suffer from this SU bug.

Very handy.
Am I missing something in the settings, though? It appears to be growing from the opposite side of the selected face and I can't figure out how to change that. Not too big a deal to select the opposite side from where it needs to go, but maybe there's an easier way?

Gaieus

Hi Justin,

Don't you have back faces where you want to grow the fur? Try to right click > Reverse faces and grow it again.
