[Plugin] Make Fur v.2.1.0(20140323)

thomthom

Yea - creating geometry slows down as more entities are in the context you add to - I've noticed that myself.
But would it be faster to make each grass strand to be a ComponentInstance of a single ComponentDefinition? That way one can easily edit the grass afterwards as well.

It is nice idea !
I will examine it.
I think that time hangs for a moment to change this plugin.
thanks.

meak

cool plugin
thanks, thanks,thanks.
+1 componentinstance!

EarthMover

Nice! Autograss for sketchup!

Thomthom, is there is a simple code fix that we could implement to have the blades made as component instances, or does that involve some rewriting?

thomthom

Dunno - haven't looked at the code.

xrok1

thats pretty sweet! thank you.

EarthMover

Nice render results...great job with the UI!

I guess one could also just use the plugin to create a small patch of grass, convert it to a component and then spray it into the areas needed.

Suggestions:

Make the type box and Option box.
I like that it inherits the colour of the face it sits on. An nice option would be if it could generate a given set of material variants (0 to n) and use that.

Nice patch. Is that just one plain colour for the grass?

Quite fun to play around with. Thank you so much.

Could you provide a brief description of each setting. Some are painfully obvious, others not so much, for me at least.

Wonder how hard it would be to make it Mac-friendly? This looks like something that would have great benefit for myself and my line of work.

hmmm!

would be nice to be able to pre-select the material though. i had to paint the branches green and then back to brown after.

SU Reviewer

Great Plugin! I'm in the process of reviewing it for my site. But I keep running into an issue, whenever I select my settings and then click the "Fur" button it creates the fur on the wrong side of the face. Always facing down. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks for your efforts!

solo

Make sure your face is orientated correctly.
