      Why is sketchup still so slow?

      At the base it's a "Box modeler", not a "Subdivison Modeler" and it has so many other things to manage!

      Sure for this sort of things SU can't fight with ZB, Wings3D, Blender.. but it has a so sweet ergonomy! β˜€

            Thomthom's HeightMap to Mesh plugin on a 64px x 64px .bmp

            Tried a 208px x 208px first but it buckled SU. πŸ˜’

              Oh yeah, great little plugin. Isn't there a plugin/algorithm to subdivide a face into these shapes? I'll look into some other techniques to achieve this. Imagine a Voronoi TOS πŸ˜„

                TIG's elegantly named Quadrilatelizer (which has a scrabble score of 968 with three triple word bonuses and bonus for all letters used) can generate a funky yet consistent results.

                  Thought so! πŸ˜† Gonna give it a whirl now.

                  There seems to be a grasshopper workflow I may look into as well.

                    You need the patient of a saint to wait while SU crunches numbers....not worth the effort though....

                                      Tell me how!!! Cryptic! I can do this in Wings but I don't want to. You see from the video just how easy a subdivision in Wings can be!! The only problem is how many iterations before it will import into SU! πŸ˜†
