[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy
-
Thanks for sharing this plugin.
I have been waiting a while to see someone implement the ivy generator with SketchUp.
Is it supposed to work well with any units? If my units are inches, it seems to work ok. But if they are meters, not so much.

Does not work on Mac

This seems like the beginning of something big... glad to have caught on early..
will definitely follow this post... all the best..! -
Really like the plug-in and cant wait for further tweaking!
Thanks again!

i use fur with this plugin but i haven't nice leaf with fur
can you show your leaf setting with fur plugin plz -
Hi Robert
I use a leaf component that came with the plants from Solo so I cannot share it here but you can find a lot of ivy on 3D Warehouse. Just load the component somewhere in the drawing and select "make from component" in fur plug-in - you'll see your component listed there. Hope this helps!
Cheers

@Mac Users: Really sorry about the plugin not working. I have absolutely no clue what the issue is, but I will borrow a mac this weekend and see what i can work out
@Andre: Thank you! Those renders looks great. What plugin do you use? Im currently looking at the distribution of leaves, and that lookes great
I dont know when the next update will be released, but heres a little teaser of whats to come.
cheers

Hi Guys:
I read all the comments and when select the plugin and I create the Ivy there is not setup so where is the setup? Can I change something or just grow and grow and that's it?
I place an Image of the plugin installed:
I missing the "Plugins/SketchupIvy/setup.rb" Is an awesome plugin already see the near future.... Thank you for the great design and comments.

The forums (this topic) is even better as we can all learn from it.

Indeed. The plugin is still in an early phase of coding and what we see is just a preliminary "proof of concept". Somewhere Pierre even wrote that he has not made the settings dialogue yet.
(I am also eagerly looking forward to the development...)

Cool UI.
One issue, if you close it you cannot open it again.

Thanks for your reply... could you elaborate? I cant recreate it on my system... Are you on a mac? Sketchup 8? And how do you close it?
Regards

Sure.
I opened the UI (from plugin menu) I started creating ivy but decided my ball (wanted it to grow over ball) was too big, so I exited by clicking the close X, resized the ball and tried to start Ivy again, it was checked in menu by no matter what I did the UI did not show again.

Same here,
I do like the way this Ivy plugin is going. Nice interface, and I thank you are on the right track. Simple Ivy can be made, and i did a few testrenders with indigo and the results are nice. But for large walls covering Ivy you have to make several seperaty ivy bushes I think because of bugsplat when going over 150 branches. But thanxs for the hard work so far, Keep it up and this wil be a very welcome plugin

reported the same problem as Solo, this problem appears only when you try to put leaves on the vine

Hi, i work on Mac and Sketchup reads the plugin but when i run the plugin the Ivy parameters window appears and immediately disappears, for this i can't use it.
