[Plugin] Make Fur v.2.1.0(20140323)

you're wrong, dividing the are will help, you just have so many particles there that it hits some kind of ceiling.

either that or the 30000 maximum per face is too little. how big is the face?

FGomes

I tried dividing and its the same thing. See the examples and I increased the number to 900000 and it distributes less...

eidam655

i get it.

at your settings, i have to keep the face's area under 64m2 (that is 8x8m) so that the grass is created on the whole face. i don't know whence comes this limitation.

but then again, it only seems to be a preview issue, the grass generates without problems on bigger faces.

I didnt understand what you meon with this...

And its not an preview issue. The fur is only made on that places!

I really would like to make this correctly... does any one knows how to make this?

Thanks

Help! I'm doing something wrong. Here is my setup:

and my render:

As you can see, the grass is just little green dots and the rendering shows nothing at all. What am I doing wrong?

FGomes, read this post again there's a preview button (the green dots you are getting), and Make Fur button (which will then generate the fur geometry).

ok ... half the problem solved. Actually appeared in the preview only half the area covered, but after making the fur, the distribution was throughout the area.

However, the distribution was not homogeneous. There are areas with more grass than others.

This is strange... everyone does fantastic grass with theis plugin... I only encounter problems!

I have the same issue with the green dots and the distribution. You're not the only one.

Hi,Ineshtine and FGomes.
The previewing with too many green dots will be very slowly manipulation.
So It is limited.

And Making fur will makes sketchup model larger.
So "MaxNumber(/Face) " limits density each faces.
Setting "MaxNumber(/Face) " to large will make density same to each faces.

But be carefully.It will make file to very large.

Thanks.

Ineshtine

Yes, indeed. But this is not the problem. The real problem is, the grass generation is not evenly distributed (sometimes). There is more grass on some areas (looks like big triangles). It does this with the green dots, and also when making the fur.

I have a suggestion. Can you implement clipping for the crowd? If we use a wide object instead of a tall object (like people), they go over the face edges. It would be nice if they clip, or moves inside so they don't go over the edges.

BTW, Thanks for this fantastic plugin, I love it.

Thanks a lot! can't wait to try this.

Assuming you want the 'plugin'... please look at the very first post in this thread.
There is a download link to get the archived files, and a detailed instruction on how to install it.
More recent posts include several enhancements to the toolset - read those and download their files once you are up and running...

Lana

Very, very thanks.

Disable 'AdBlock' add-ons etc for SCF - just as you agreed in the membership ToS - then attachments should become available to you after a 'refresh'...

Thank you, I downloaded it via IE. I put this unwrapped folder 'fur_en15a' in folder 'Plugins' in SketchUp files but it doesn't work. What should I do?

You must unzip it to that folder.
