Photo texture with transparency push/pull able?
-
Hey!
I have a question to the article "window treatment with transparency" in Catchup 11:
In fact i am trying to achieve, that the shadings also have some thickness.
for example i have a solid rectangle, i apply my photo texture with transparence, but i want to sketchup to recognize, that this "transparency-holes" are going thtough the whole solid, so that i cant actually see inside the solid.
Hope that was a good enough description.
cheers

hmm.. maybe
are you saying you want to do something like this?
the item on the left is a transparent .png while the item on the right is the same image with only the picture push/pulled (and the transparent part is ignored.. or, with a little more work, you could reverse that to where only the transparent part is extruded)
if that's what you want then you should check out TIG's image trimmer plugin:

Very powerful plug indeed!
-
yes!
thats it! thx a lot!! -

yeah, pilou. that's normal.
the plugin doesn't convert each color of the png to its own individual texture..
the texture still remains as one so when you push/pull it, that's what happens. (with my example, I painted all the vertical surface the default material but it looked similar to yours at first) -
So Tig Must make a little addendum

NO.
What you do with the flat '2d' cutout after it's made is up to you...
You can Color any extruded surfaces as you will - but when extruded with PushPull it will take the top surface's material... BUT it has to assume something

imagine if the png was a photograph and the plugin converted all the colors to individual materials..
there would be hundreds if not thousands of new materials added to the model.

No just paint vertical faces with a solid color
-
Thomthom has a bitmap-to-faces tool that makes individual colored squares from an image's pixels... do a search...
-
I can also in view front just make a box selection from right to left for take only vertical faces and colorize them in one click
And copy past the top faces to the bottom if i want the same colors

Easy and another time exploration is endless!
