[Plugin][$] 3D Tree Maker - New version 1.10.14

ppoublan

Hi Pascal,
Another question, when I create a tree in a blank sketchup file, new components appear in the Componentes Window, see the image below:
[attachment=0:2zktr2wd]New Components.jpg[/attachment:2zktr2wd]
but when I use Fix Texture Leaves Tool those components disappear, is that correct?

Hi oxer,

From what I can see I think all these components are created or loaded by LightUp for Sketchup.
I think it adds them to the model when a tree is drawn just bucause this plugin adds model or components or materials observers and add its own component when one of this list is changed.

They disappears because in Tree Maker and I purge unused materials and unused components.

Yours

I tested the tool too, and I confirm that this fixed the error (rendering with Indigo Renderer). In sketchUp - like Oxer - I never had any texture issues, BTW.

Did you try the proposed method to render proxies with Indigo ? Let me know if it works, so I can see how to make it "scripted automaticaly" into the plugin.

it works if i start a new sketchup file. Its the same for all trees as well not just 1 type

Made some tests with vRay without pb. I dont know much about how vray is working. If the problem occurs only on existing SU file, there maybe an issue with cache. Found this option you could try : "Clear folder texture cache"

The the funny thing is that I haven't installed LightUp, for this reason I don't know why these components are created when you place a new tree, perhaps another plugin is the guilty.

EDIT: I have seen in Components Window >Edition the path for these Components --> C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/Tools/lightup/components/pointlight-v1.6.skp
I work on Mac and this path in OS X doesn't exist.

Sketchup UFO mysteries
Maybe I left some unpurged components with some leaves components definitions. Need to load all one by one to test...

Yes, that is the error, leaves components files unpurged

Added to the todo list.

It's my problem I'm very perfectionist.
See the flower13 it has another layers too.

Hi there,
I am looking for a talented power user of 3D Tree Maker who can support me with creating some trees and plants for professional use. I am willing to spend some dollars for your effort.
Please drop me a line if you are intested and give me some background information about you.

Tell me how to make a dense and clipping like this:

Inside the leaves do not want to not load.

Hi everybody :

           Is there a Tree Maker plugin for Sketchup 8 ?  And where do I get it ?  The ones that I DID find are for Collada.

                                                                       garystan

Hello,

Is this plugin still actively supported by the developer? I purchased a license expecting to get a more comprehensive library of trees and grass but after keying in the license, no change of tree collection from the free version.

It loads fine as per your image but try the following;

Make a tree
Reconfigure it, using right click, reconfigure
Change tree parameters *
Redraw tree using updated parameters **
You will notice that many of the sliding bars are listed as NaN
** Redraw does nothing after changing any of the parameters

Error in Ruby Console to load a tree:

I've had an email back from ppoublan to say he is hoping to get this fixed in the new year.
