[Plugin] Bitmap To Mesh

SpookyChick1013 · 15 May 2019, 02:56

I no longer do business with Dropbox. Long story.

I did solve the problem. Somehow an earlier version of the plugin got left behind when I updated it the other day. Removed it, no more problem.

Thanks anyway.

Think I could get a working script of this for sketchup8? I cant seem to want to update because I have a LOT of plugins that work well together already

I guess that thomthom's code uses Ruby API calls that are only available with newer versions of SketchUp.
So looks like v8 can't hack it ! Sorry.

So team: I haven't used this plugin in a while, and I may be doing something wrong. I am trying to make a mesh obviously. .. from a BMP of this image and all it does is stall out my Puter. What am I doing wrong? Something wrong iwth the image? not enough contrast?

thx,

D

p.s. I guess i could crop it to one panel and just repeat the model. Would that help?

Holey buckets! There's a lot to process there. I can imagine your puter needing to take a break now and then. It would help if you can reduce the size of the image to one panel although it might still be a lot of work. It'll certainly create a lot of geometry.

So i discovered. I got it to work with one panel, but the results were underwhelming. I think I will just use the image and a call it a day.

Holy Buckets???

Probably a good idea to use the image as a texture. Reminds me of the curtain slides that would show during intermissions in the old black and white films.

Holey if the water won't stay in.

The texture is fine, using Photoshop of course. i was just playing to see if I could get it to work in 3D

Thx,

There's a hole in the bucket. . .dear Liza.. .dear Liza. . .

The arrows for reducing pixels or polygons does not show, when i bring the cursor to the red line, any idea ??

this is a great plugin for customize tiling texture, while the sketchup has no responding when I import a 500*500 pixel test BMP file as an image and run "mesh from bitmap", see the screenshot.

Quick maths

500 x 500 = 250,000 planar faces. 500,000 if it ends up triangulated.

You should stick to 64 x 64 or below.

SketchUp will eventually create a mesh of 250,000 and you'll be able to orbit fine. But the creation part will take time.
