[Plugin] Pic2Shape - v1.3a - 17 Dec 25 (Image Contouring)
-
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.

The herbs are to thin to be valuably contoured by Pic2Shape.
Again, you can do proper contouring in specialized software like PhotoShop. Pic2Shape is only there for simple shapes.

I use Sketchup 2022 with Twilight render 2.0 Pro. A few days ago I upgraded LibFredo6 and PictoShape to the latest version, After that it started to go bad, the Shapes on the images I make with face to camera after rendering are black (as with the alpha mask), while the imported images in png format without PictoShape are visible OK after rendering.

We are a bit under informed...
If you post the actual tree PNG image it might help resolve this... -

Your PNG processed fine for me.
Although there are a lot of semi-transparent pixels that could be improved by editing the image [Gimp].
I flattened the image which remove all transparency, then I selected all of the 'teal' background pixels with the magic-wand, and deleted them... and finally added the alpha channel back in. This takes longer to process, but it gives a much better result. Also cropping the image to avoid bothering with all of the background you don't want anyway speeds things up. -

Hello, I have a problem

Anybody have the 1.1 rbz old version to pass me?

@tilo-mar-tin why do you need v 1.1 of this extension?

Un immense merci, je viens de voir une application étonnante de ton plug-in où on voit que ça prendrait en compte le mapping en 3 d à partir des images. Je vais essayer demain chez moi, mais suis bluffé encore une fois par ton travail
Je parle de cette image

Hello,
It’s really excellent. However, when I tried again this morning, it got stuck at the same point with this image. I even reduced the image resolution to 500 pixels, but the result is the same. Is there any setting I could adjust to improve speed or get past this block?

Can you attach the image

Yes, thanks

I find your comment rather unpleasant...
I’m not sure it’s even possible to create this type of structure in 20 minutes using Image Trimer:
Clip 1 (1).mp4
There’s really no comparison.

I tried with the image and di not get any problem.
Can you open the Ruby console before you launch Pic2Shape.
