[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy

TIG

It was rewritten to work with v2015.
When the notes were written it was correct, the update meant it worked with PC & MAC v8 up to v2015 - as there was no v2016 at that time !

Note that 99.9% of scripts that work with v2015 will also work with v2016.
It is not signed, so the newfangled v2016 Extensions Loading Policy needs to be set at the lower level[s] to allow it to run, but otherwise it should work just as v2015 usage...

Hi Kris,

Could you re-upload the package? It would be very helpful.

Thanks for sharing

Ok, since we figured out who Gordon is and I saw his posts contributing to the community, I'm going to assume everything in my folder is up for grabs.

Now don't go installing this unless you know what you're doing. Let Tig, Rich, Oxer and Myself sort them out, clean them up and see how they should fit in. We'll offer them up in a combined pack afterwards.

Here it is.

Here's what it contains.

Unfortunately, the guide posted in your previous entry (http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=36882%26amp;start=540#p545506) seems to no longer work? I cant get access to it - can any of you in here? Maybe I'm mistaking?

The package I was thinking of was based on a screenshot earlier in this thread. It seemed to have more than the 10 leaves in the zip package - is there no more than those 10 leaves? Not to sound ungrateful, I just want to make sure I'm understanding it right

TIG

I'll PM you a collection of extra leaves...

Great, I'll try it out first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks!

Anyone who also has the forementioned jpg image "guide"?

Somebody can help me ?

Thanks

There is a known issue with SketchUp Ivy and some file export to renderers where the image size is distorted by the receiving app...
Although your images are way too small to see the issue, I suspect that is what is wrong...

Solution is explode the 'tree' --> group (or components)
Then explode the 'leaves' --> group (or components)

Then export the geometry separately to any render app!

At first, thank you very much for the pluggin!!...

I am new user Sketshup. I downloaded the file but when I want to choose "Leaf Types" not appear nothing.

What should I do? thank you very much! and sorry my english....

For make your own
Recto verso material can be different!
Have happy leaving!

If you have not something like this at this folder
for Windows System PC (can be another path following Windows'version)
C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp\Plugins\LiveIvy\Textures...
you must have inside some skp of leaves or some png images!
If not load this file (3 leaves) or make your own

Jorgensen

just tried to grow an ivy and render with octane.

it seems that octane somehow moves or resets the leaves scale or something....

does anyone know what's going on and if it can be fixed?

thanks

TIG

Do you get this error all of the time?
Or is it related to particular settings ?

Have the same problem as jorgensen three posts before. I want to render ivy with indigo RT.
It seems it depends where the ivy leave components are placed in relation to the world origin.
Nothing works - only to explode the ivy leave components. But that can not be the goal. Never had such stubborn components in use ... here an example SKP2016 file, if someone has indigo and can help.

IvyTest_01-Mat25P.skp

SketchUp test scene

result with indigo RT

TIG

There have been some weird reports about some renderers and distorted results.
The only fix I can see is to work on a copy model.
Then use the Outliner to select all of the components involved and 'explode' them.
It might take a while to process ?
Then the renderer will probably cope OK ??

LOPES

I have the same problem; "When I use Vray to render geometry generated with Sketchup Ivy, the leaves don't render the same size as they appear in sketchup."
Do you have a solution?
Thank you for all.
