    • RE: [Plugin] Shape Bender Beta

      Chris

      Whatever is needed for the original to stay put would work.
      Drove me crazy until I looked at the Component pulldown.

      Selective icons would be perfect

      Maybe a universal script to access and integrate other's work???

      An aside:
      My wife heard your little one in the backgound on the video.
      Mother's ears never rest. β˜€

    • RE: [Plugin] Shape Bender Beta

      Hi Chris

      Just a basket full of Easter eggs and thanks.

      Here is one that just went by me.
      When the script is executed the original shape just seemed to disappear.
      HMMMMM.? πŸ˜•
      While the bend conversion does make a saved component out of the original shape it would be nice to have the shape remain in place instead of disappearing when the script is executed.

      Also with all your super scripts growing daily an icon set would much appreciated by all to have them at the ready 24-7.

      Just a couple of thoughs for the day and thanks again for all the killer stuff you have created.
      Happy Easter to all β˜€

    • RE: Roads from Centrelines

      Hi Kenny

      Using centerline layout here are some ways to make it work.
      For level roadways Profile Builder will work but if roadway rises and has curved sections the profile will twist.
      The free ruby Follow and Keep [fak] will extrude a face flat with no twist.
      Intersections with radius corners, curb cuts, handicap access are best built separate and hooked up with the roadway.
      You can create a roadbed (depression) using the pre-build roadway with the SU Sandbox)
      Sort of a drill but will do the job with a little work-around in the mix.

      Hope this will help jump start your road building project.

    • RE: Help with slanted roof/ceiling floor plan

      Mocamro

      You can use the [project faces on a plane along vector] script.
      http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/en_sections.html
      This will intersect a selected face with a sloping plane along a selected vector.
      Great for interior walls in rooms with sloping ceilings.

    • RE: [Plugin] Three Line Tools (Updated March 9th, 2009)

      Chris
      Super and much needed script-ete

      A Move / Copy option like in Didier's Align script so one can keep the profile if needed would be nice to have.

      On a workaround (no ruby)that I cobbled up it worked to use a group/component and just explode when it was properly located as moving a plain face if attached to path will just drag the endpoint along with it.
      My work-around alignment solution is attached for what help it may be.

      In any case thanks a bunch for even giving this a shot.

    • RE: Export > Animation > SWF ?

      Hi All πŸ˜„
      This should work for almost any "movie" format.
      Super translator from and to=====
      http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
      Such as avi-mov-wmv to swf/flv etc.
      Audio and Video settings.
      I have used this a bunch and no VD.
      It will make you scroll through info before getting to the download and will beg for a small $$$ when you go to settings.
      One will need to know settings for each file formatb but works like sliced bread when you configure correctly.

      Hey Jeff

      No way to explain but I am very happy to have the dialog disappear.
      Never could understand the options use anyway.

      Rick will fix without a doubt.

      It also kills the dialog when using keystroke for your Weld.

      Just plain Weld is much better however.

    • RE: Whats the most Cost Effective Animation Renderer????

      Hi Ecuadorian

      Yes KT wins.
      Also I have ATL Studio and not up to speed at all.
      I did check out VideoMach (shareware for $25 US)
      MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 14 is a bunch more full featured and has all the exports/codecs to boot.
      Up to 14 tracks as well (vid or sound)

      Thx for your input too.

    • Ortho to Path work around

      Hi All
      Here is a quick and easy way to align a profile/face to an off axis path.
      A must have for follow-me and follow-keep extrusions until a ruby shows up.

      A small payback and I hope of good use.

    • RE: Whats the most Cost Effective Animation Renderer????

      Hi Sekta

      SU to Kt is a very good option for path animation of the camera.
      No object animation (maybe with Sketchy Physics) but fast and easy.
      For object, moving people etc expect about one hour per second to produce.
      You can import the KT files to an inexpensive Video editor and get some pretty good results.
      I checked out Windows (XP) editor, Adobe Premier Elements, Virtual Dub (free) and a couple of others but selected Magix Movie Edit Pro 14 as it was super fast and easy to use (under $50 to buy) and very full featured.
      (trial version is available)
      The attached test render resolution has been reduced to fit here but
      the higher rez version had smooth transitions and was very sharp.

      Hope this is of some help

    • Profile Builder Bug

      Whaat

      For SU v6.4.112
      Win XP pro
      Version = Smustard download.
      Extrude fails for bottom left or right origin if X=0
      with 90 deg corners when simple open arc or curve is path.
      Checked and verified with only PB installed.
      OK for V 7 free.
      It will work with an offset outside of profile of as little as .001 +/-

      A fix please

    • RE: [Plugin] FollowMe and keep (v0.04 update 20090210)

      Wikii

      Any chance of adding an align face/profile perpendicular to endpoint fcn?
      Maybe just a separate script would do or does one exist that will pick face and align by selecting the endpoint of the path??
