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..

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.

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?

Just a quick question. Is it possible somehow to adjust setting to a created crowd, or does one have to start over?

Thanks

Hello.
If anyone can answer any of the following questions I'd be extremely happy... (thanks in advance)....

1- On the first page, in the "Attachments" box where you click to download the plugin, it says "fur_en1.5a--This is Older Version.".... Is there an newer version somewhere? Or is this the most current version?

2- I see that in later posts, people seem to have a dialog/menu box that is green... is this only a Windows feature?
All I get is a slightly different version of the original (whatever version was first released)... I'm on a Mac, and sometimes not everything appears the same on both systems.

3- Also on the first page, where the versions/fixes are listed, I see "Crowd" Problem on mac do not fix yet. "....
I'm not sure, but does that mean that the crowd feature does not work on a Mac?

4- I feel really stupid asking this one, because it is clear that other people are able to do this, but how exactly does one go about using/loading components? I've tried several ways, based on what I think other people are doing (though nobody who seems to be using components seem to be directly saying how they did it... or I'm completely missing that)... I don't actually seem to be able use the Sang or Leaf1 components either... I watched the video and read every page of this thread and unless I skipped something obvious , I just don't see that info...

Sorry, for asking what are probably really stupid questions, but I've been going at this for about 3 hours and I decided to just ask the questions instead of poking at it anymore.

By the way, I can make grass(fur)... I'm just not able to use/load leaf1 and Sang components/load my own components... I was hoping to be able to use this plugin to populate a small area of terrain with some simple weed billboards/components I was making and I remembered that this plugin seemed to be able to do that... But I'm not sure if I'm understanding fully if that is what it does...

Anyway, thank you in advance for any information you may be able to share on this subject!

Not really now answer to your questions but...
if you want make Fur vegetal you can try this one (it's exactly the same philosophy) during the time that I understand your questions!
