[Plugin] Pic2Shape - v1.2b - 13 Oct 25 (Image Contouring)

[kimga]

update: I succeeded with the plugin, when I opened the image in a new file.

The original image was on a bent plane. I suppose that was the problem…

@kimga Are you going to to have trees with this amount of edges per leaf ) ?

[nasmrtcz]

@kimga @TIG Hi. I also have this issue. It works really great in the picture, but after applying it on a textured face, it freezes like the leaf.

Do you have the model for me to explore the issue.

I installed Fredo6 Pic2Shape but can not find it anywhere to use it. What gives?

@schramdesigns Have you met the requirements in the top post?

[schramdesigns]

I installed this and cant find it to use it.

[Rich O Brien]

That suggests you either haven't installed Libfredo or you have not restarted SketchUp. But since you are omitting lots of info to help us understand fully its hard to say.

Amazing tool! Thanks, Fredo
Just uploaded a new tutorial on YouTube!

Hello, this is an amazing tool—thank you very much. I use it mainly for landscape architecture to create plant shadows. I was wondering why the tool doesn't work with some plants. Quite a lot of plants don't work with this tool; for example, grasses, slightly blue plants, and delicate trees (like the tamarisk tree) seem to produce an open contour which creates a ghost image. I tried editing the PNG and adding a contour or changing the contrast in Photoshop—even adding a very dark black line—and changing the settings of the tool, but nothing seems to work. I wonder if you could have a look at that. I will upload some examples of plants that just don't work with the tool.
