[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy
-
Here's Rich O'Brien's set of nine 'ivyleaf_' SKPs - all evergreen ivy leaves...
They are in SUp v8 format, with the hidden-geometry OFF, so their thumbnails look better.You can either add those to your existing set in the ../Plugins/LiveIvy/Textures folder [they are named with a final 'ROB' so as not to clash], or of course you can remove any 'ivyleaf' SKPs you don't want to choose from - perhaps move them into a 'Disabled' subfolder...

Incredible new feature to select different leafs, thanks you very much TIG
With your permission TIG, I rebuild the leafs to decrease the leafs files size, only one or two planes for the leafs, I deleted the unnecessary edges. I made a new leafs with some skp files found in this topic, I made components for some parts of the leafs (minor file size) and I made new textures.
The new leafs are named like 11, 12, 13a, 13b, 13c, 14a and 14b, to the leafs 1 to 10 I made a cleaning only, all are saved in SU8 format.
The plugins works fine in SU2014/15 & OSX 10.9.5 only one problem with the leafs list alphabetic order, some leafs aren't ordered correctly, I marked the incorrect leaf, see the image below, I don't why.

Thanks Oxer and thanks Tig! Maybe time for me to try this again.

Thanks Oxer.
There are several recent posts about adding these new 'ivyleaf_' SKPs to your ../Plugins/LiveIvy/Textures folder...
Clearly you might want to manage what you have loading from that folder, by 'disabling' some little-used or un-used SKPs...Regarding the ordering...
The default ordering would be 1,10,11,2,3..9 etc
I adjusted it to use 1,2,3..9,10,11 etc
BUT having names like 13a, 13b etc currently confuses it as there is no inherent way to sort by the final 'suffix'...
This can be done... I'll look at it...

Thanks for the info TIG!!

Here's v0.6.6x which now sorts the 'ivy_leaf_' thumbnails logically, names with number+letter suffixes are sorted after any pure numerical suffixes http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchupIvy

Hi tig
This is a very nice plugin, even though I have a problem.
I have a wall, that is 20 meter high wall and 100 meters long, and somehow I need to green (not the right word I guess) whis wall.
But I have a struggle to find the right settings. No matter what settings I use, it seems that I can't get the ivy higher than 4-5 meters before it gets to heavy / dence. Can anyone guide me here
If I can create some of the Ives I can use them as proxies in max / octane, but it might not be possible at all to create ivys this big?

You might want to look at my Green Wall thread. I don't know that this is what you want. Ivy is probably not for larger areas.

You can always ad ivy leaves into the grass proxies/comps. Make sure to post back and show us how it turns out.

Absolutely... How do you want it?
-
however you want it to appear.
of course article will heavily incorporate schema tags and author info box for you so feel free to go wild
-
I don't know if I'm the author or not... I did a lot of testing and made some tuts for this plugin back in the day, but can't remember if I did this or if someone else gave it to me.
Regardless, it's a great resource and I'll bring it out of SU and put in a better format.

Driven has pointed out to me that one of the textures on the file belongs to a "Gordon"... Anyone remember someone named Gordon?
Well, Gordon... Wherever you are... We'll credit you with this resource.

He's been inactive for the best part of two years ? -
Because someone's name is Gordy they are the same Gordon we are looking for? Gordon is the name of the user on their computer... Don't know if it would be the user on the SCF board. Doesn't ring any bells for me. But, who knows... Could be him.
I did a search on the 17-18 pages on this thread and didn't find any mention of a Gordon.
