Simple Artisan examples collection

Whaat

I often wonder why Artisan shows a nice (more quad-like) mesh in the preview and it is not possible to choose this mesh instead of the triangulated...

Well, the preview mesh uses openGL to render (which supports non-planar quads) and we all know that SketchUp itself does not allow them.

Nice work as usual, cotty!

there seems to be some poles in the above example ...

There are because the faces are not Quad Faces...

Having them as Quad Faces reduces pole count to 4.

Is it possible to change the geometry so that there is no pole?

Rich O Brien

Of course but at times poles are inevitable. Just beware poles cause mesh pinching.

In that example you have 6 edges converging to one point at 4 locations.

If you tweak the proxy to lower the pole from 6 edges to 5 you then end up with 8 poles.

Here you can (legally) obtain artisan: http://artisan4sketchup.com/

Else, if your post refers to some other (illegal) source of the plugin, be warned that SketchUcation does not tolerate piracy. For the time being, I hope it's only a language misapprehension

cotty

Looks like your trial period is over, you can buy a license here: http://artisan4sketchup.com/

edit: oh, Gaieus was faster

Hi,

I Need your Help. How do I get this quad faces with artisan. I only get this result (see photo below).

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi charly:
See dialogue on previous page at Friday, August 23 in this thread. Notice how cotty predefined the lines on the baby rattle, also.

Hi, charly.
See if this helps. I did not use other plugins. Only Artisan. As stated, delete all internal partitions.

An excellent sofa example by ginchius with proxy image and rendered version.

olishea

Wow ginchius' models are so convincing! I can imagine just how comfy the sofa is just by looking at the render! Most furniture models looks very static and formal.

pbacot

very nice. Not so "simple" but a good example if you are looking "where to begin?" on something this complex.

Nice little "poor man's voronoi" workflow by Jeff here.

Good example Cotty

Thera are a few n-gons that I'd get rid of though
