Crazy people - great concepts and renderings...

RE: Julia Eneroth's Viewport Resizer / SketchUp 2023
If that helps: a plugin for easily exporting SketchUp images, as shown in the viewport but with free input of height, width, format and compression.
Originally modified for a smooth scene animation to coincide with the Skindigo AnimationExport (Indigo Render Animation).
Here reduced to a SketchUp single image output with input of image parameters.
Transfer the code to an rb file called Single_Image_Export.rb and copy it to the plugin folder of the respective SUp version (tested up to SUp2022).

RE: Julia Eneroth's Viewport Resizer / SketchUp 2023
I'm glad this helps.
I find it a shame that the SkerchUp programmers have not yet considered it necessary to implement a precisely definable image export, even though the basic functions are available in Rubi.
Regarding school: "Hochschule für Architektur- und Bauwesen Weimar" today "Bauhaus Universität" - we punched out punched cards and handed them over to the computer center (short time after Konrad Zuse...)
I learned most of Rubi from AntonS for scripting in MSPhysics and from customizing simple plugins for my own purposes. It's enough for small things...

RE: Camera Simulation with MSPhysics
MSPhysics for SketchUp 2022
I tried to get the MSPhysics camera models from 2017 to work with the MSPhysics plugin modified for newer SketchUp versions (see GitHub). This was partially successful.
The camera, target point, and objects can be moved along curves...
This could be useful for model simulations, flyovers, etc.

RE: MSPhysics 1.0.3 (16 October 2017)
Nevertheless, many thanks to the guys who adapted MSPhysics to the new SketchUp versions.
Since the MSPhysics plugin is very complex, I can understand that some components no longer work 100%.
However, it's a good tool for getting started with physics for SketchUp.
Batching simple physics simulations doesn't seem to be a problem with the adapted version.
Slightly more complex models from version 1.0.3 crash either immediately or during the simulation without an error message.
I also noticed that you can no longer set the world scale in the UI. This menu item is missing.
The Control Panel is not displayed correctly during simulations.
It would be good to know which conventions, commands, or physics properties have changed due to the newer SketchUp Rubi API or other system updates.
These probably also affect the scripts programmed in MSP.
It's a shame that AntonS hasn't continued to develop it.
For SketchUp 2017, it's still an incredibly well-thought-out and functional physics plugin. -
RE: MSPhysics 1.0.3 (16 October 2017)
Tested it in SketchUp 2022
Doesn't work with complex MSPhysics models, as Anton already noted in 2019.AntonSynytsia on GitHub, Apr 26, 2019 (Owner):
"Yes, the repository is compatible with SU2019 but this is a development version and has a number instability issues, multi-threading and joints in particular. I am planning to fix these issues before releasing a 2019 compatible version." -

@FlorinAp:
Is this a joke? I can't find anything like this on GitHub. Is there a link? -
RE: Copy Camera
Plugin: ene_camMemory by Julia Christina (eneroth3) Eneroth
"Saves the camera position in just 2 clicks so it can be retrieved later. Works between models. Perfect for version comparison for instance."

RE: [Plugin] ClothWorks v1.8.0 - 28 Apr 2024
@Anton_S
Did I read that correctly? - "I got to get mpshysics back to life!"
Yes! Yes! Yes!
That would be fantastic. When will the time come? -
RE: A little Fun Exercise
Great!
Funny and detailed model and as always informatively presented!
It makes me want to play with MSPhysics again.
I still have a lot of half-finished fun projects lying in the HD drawer...
Unfortunately I haven't had the time or inclination for it for 2 years, even though good old SketchUp 2017 still works.
How did you model/arrange the different poses? -
