[Plugin] Make Fur v.2.1.0(20140323)

Dave R

Have you recently installed any new plugins that might be messing with this one? Maybe the Vray plugin or Sketchy Physics?

Nope, no new plugins as of late.

Was working earlier this week, now won't work whatsoever, no new plugins installed since.

Have tried everything I feel. Played with all the options, components, new sketchup files, restarting computer, blah.

Any other suggestions?

If you try using it with the Ruby Console open are there any error messages ?
Have you recently changed things that might have affected your Plugins folder's security permissions?
Select its icon, right-click > context-menu > Properties > Security > Edit... make sure every user/group listed has FULL read/write permissions ticked.
Apply/OK
Also select the SketchUp.exe icon and similarly: right-click > context-menu > Properties > Compatibility > Check the box 'Always run as administrator' > Apply/OK...
Restart SketchUp...
If it still fails to work...
In the ../Plugins/fur_en folder there's a file called fur_param3.ini, edit it with Notepad and delete all of the entries, then save it: now 'fur' should start on a SketchUp restart with its default settings...

Hi,ikeda and mjursevs.
Please do as TIG says.

Please tell me the detail of your problems,When still there were the problem.
Open "Ruby Console" in sketchup "windows" menu.
And Start "Fur".
when there is any message includes "error",
Please copy the all message and post here.

I have no materials of the inference for your problems.
Thanks.

This is just brilliant.. Don't know how i missed this for so long. Now that vray2.0 is proxy enables the possibilities are limitless.. Convert a grass component into a proxy on sk (Though 3dsmax allows the porxy to be simplified further), import it into the model and scatter the proxy. You have a feather weight model with the punch of a heavy weight! Awesome work tak2hata!

this was my first attempt at grass..

Thank you

Is there a good userguide somewhere? I downloaded the plugin and cannot figure it out. Managed to get some grass on a surface but it disappeared as soon as I moved the image. Tried the crowd function but nothing...

Tried youtube but it hung (got an old PC and lousy internet). Userguide will be fantastic.

Hi =D

This is my updated translation of Make Fur for the Portuguese-BR pt-br language.

I have a problem when I want to make grass it generate upside down, WHY? Anybody knows and can help me?

Because the front face of the rectangle you've draw is facing down. Before running the plugin, correct the face orientation so the front face is up.

uszaczek12345

Hmmm, ok but when I drawing rectangle, square or other figure it always like this it always face down, how correct face orientation permanently.

Dave R

Yes, if you draw a rectangle on the groundplane, it's front face will be oriented down. Since SketchUp is a 3D modeling application, it is assumed that you will make that face into a 3D shape and then the back face will be inside.

All you have to do is right click on the face and choose Reverse Faces.

Hi,All.
I update to version2.0.1 in 2013.06.02.

UI is improved.

Hi,zieios.
The icon is pretty cool!
Fur will be grown thick on sketchup!

Thanks.

Dave R

What do you mean it's not working. Be specific.

The file is available to download at the end of the first post in this thread or you could autoinstall it via the Sketchucation Plugin Store.

I am having an issue with this plugin. Only Seven of the sliders will move. Any suggestions?

That's like saying to the doctor, "It hurts." and expecting the doctor to figure out from that what's wrong with you. Do we have to guess which sliders work? It would be a big help if you were much more specific. Post the SKP file and give us some information that we can use to help you. What sliders don't move? What are you trying to achieve?
