[Plugin] Make Fur v.2.1.0(20140323)

McGyver

Hello Pilou.

Thank you for the link to TreeMaker, I have been using it a lot lately, but I wanted to be able to populate a small terrain with my own models (or simple billboard components)... what I was actually trying to do, was make specific weeds for an overgrown area... TreeMaker is very good, but the template models are too... "pretty" for weeds and I do not really know how to add my own models to the list (if that is even possible)... so I decided to try Fur which sort seems to work like Component Spray, but with more random distribution.

I used the other link you provided and downloaded V 2.1.0... I see now that I skimmed past the the "Download Here" link at the top and went straight to the bottom where the updates usually used to be... I keep doing that with older plugins, I forget that the links to the newer versions at the PluginStore are often at the top now, so thank you again for the link.

EDITED OUT PREVIOUS TEXT AS I NOW HAVE THE PLUGIN RUNNING

I think that the dialog boxes are different for Windows and Mac.
Once again, thank you Pilou for the links and info!

Have happy discovery of this amazing plugin!

McGyver

I will have lots of fun using this, thanks Pilou!

The billboards I made looked terrible when rendered in Poser, but the PNGs look okay in SketchUp... So, just in case anyone wants to use them for something in SketchUp, here are the smaller versions I used in SU... They are very simple... it was just for a test, so sorry if they look a little cartoon-like.

Hi McGyver, I have installed the last version 2.1.0 on Mac and the fur-web dialogues are showing correctly the sliders.

For me the Crowd never has worked on Mac, it creates always a group with little triangles.

Hi

First thank you very much for this very nice plugin!

I'm trying to create a grassfield using the Make Crowd function, but I find the density to low.

What I do -
I select the face
Set the density to max (20)
Select my grass component

This generate some instances, but not enough to give the impression of a grassfield.

Is there a way to rise the density or do I do something wrong?

Thanks

pilou

There is no Max! Or in any case more than 20!
Seems numbers of object = Density * 10 so be careful!

Jorgensen

hi pilou

it seems to make no difference if i select a density of 5 or 20, the polygons never get more than 10017.

i'm properbly do something wrong, but i don't know what

Jorgensen

My fault - i set density to high.

Has anyone experienced the generation of the items heavily in some portions and light in others, following hard diagonal lines dividing the place? I cannot seem to apply the script evenly in most of my spaces. I am using 2014.

If they are visible : Cleanup by Thomthom : Merge Coplanar Faces
If they are invible, Enable Hidden Geometry : Selection Toys by Thomthom
Select Soft or Smooth Edges then kill them

I have problem on slope terrain with plugin. I try to change all parameters but no luck?! Some parts of terrain is cover properly, but some have lack of grass. I download last version of plugin 2.1.0 and I have Sketch 2013 pro.

Hi,haikardi.
Sorry for my reply too late.

I guess the problem is "MaxNumber(/Face)".
Please set high value to "MaxNumber(/Face)".
"MaxNumber(/Face)" is limit for creating too much fur.

Thanks!

I love this plugin, really helps me to distribute grass proxy's. I do have one request, sometimes even the lowest values are too much, I'd really like to distribute (make crowd) with .5, .2 values.

Oh!v a distribution brush would also be most welcome.

What do you mean by that?
Something like Components Spray?
