You can find old free versions of sketchup here so you will can use the protrude plugin

Now I will use the select brush and select every faces that show less vertex. Afterthen I will subdivide these faces to have a more uniform mesh. I'd like to have 10-15cm in between each edges.

A Firenze revival?

Arf, je ne connais que Chicoutimi de nom étant un vieux fan de Carole Laure!

[olishea]

Your work is really coming on! Great stuff!

[willipop]

Thx oli It's getting better ! I'm wondering how I will do the rendering !:)

[willipop]

Itteration 4 makes perfect distance in between the edges ::):)

Good luck turning the lines to tubes!

[willipop]

its going to take approximately 36h :(:( both of my pc running on 2 different files. Jeez ! Hope i will be able to navigate in the file ^^

[pilou]

And what about junctions of tubes ?
Normally Lines2tubes don't managed them!

I don't think it's possible to even see the junctions because the thread is so thin. What is your solution Pilou?

Nope!

[pilou]

If you want really ropes maybe only lines are sufficient (hide faces) or to map a transparent texture

But I am not sure that the drawing of lines shown is the real one in reality?

[willipop]

Yes I have to show lines in reality ! I'd like to have the shadow casted too ! I think I will have to try with png texture or transparent texture ... I know that I can make shadow visible from the edges in sketchup but I'm sure if it'll work in kerkythea or artlantis on the rendering.

[willipop]

Is there a way to apply a texture and have the shadow from the edges without doing to seperate rendering ?

[mitcorb]

I think TIG's Image Trimmer cuts away the transparent portions of a texture?
