      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 πŸ˜›

        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,

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

          If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

            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. 😲

                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. πŸ˜‰

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

                  Thx,

                      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.

                        Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–
