Hi all

I've been looking around for a plugin that can take a complex 3d object and reduce it into blocks of cubes (or x y z size (resolution) (pretty much like lego). The idea is to convert an organic design into small cubes to join up edges point to point while maintaining the minimal amount of triangles. Think of it as reducing the pixels of an image but in 3d.

Does anyone know the best way to do this or a plugin that can achieve this quickly.

I have a 3d scan of a real world object which consists of 2.8 million polys. With the lego idea it would allow a neater poly reducer.

If anyone knows of a way to do this fast. Please let me know. If there is a plugin dev here it would be one really good tool for simplifying organic shapes into low level triangles.

Hi all

Does anyone know of a plugin that can slice up a face into square grid/ polygons.\

Need to create a chess board kind of pattern but with alot more split square faces

Thanks

By any chance will you add a log system for debugging... then allow people to anonymously send data to x email address (yours) its the only way your gonna get enough bug reports... but I will add more if i come across any..

Will you ever add an export animation feature (or have i missed it)... in different formats to different renderers!!

beyond is 27mm it works... fine under that it doesnt... very odd!!

Hi there

I think I have one... I noticed that size of a given object it doesnt work.... if I scale it up past a certain size it works.... (ujoints) any answers to that thanks

I'm using MM and the object size (doesnt work) is 16mm radius!! will post and exact point when it starts to work..

thanks mudd.... its bookmarked in stone now!!! :0)

Hi all

Ive been trying to track down a plugin for terrain use that uses smooth like tools (freehand). It uses the same princile as unreal editor does for increasing height or lowering terrain with blobs. The scene has a lighthouse in it and the video demo shows the moulding or shaping of the terrain with this plugin... its a commercial plugin for 29 bucks... and I cant find it on this forum ... any one know this plugin... need it badly!

Hi all

Does anyone know of a plugin that you select an object and split it up into sections by X amount.

Fredo bend doesnt seem to work with the object i have so the only way I can think of is to but an intersect every X mm so it can bend it perfectly for engineering use. Its a straight piece but need it at 45 degree bend.. if anyone knows of a quick solution it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi all

Does anyone know what is the best way to convert images (all have been edge masked) on all 6 sides.

I have a model of my camera shot from a far distance all at the same zoom and position. The idea is to outline in google sketchup for pulling and pushing the outset then altering the internals of each image. Then melding them together (intersect).

Anyone know of a image plugin to trace the outline of it. (kind of like a fill bucket/automask)

Thanks

Hi there

I have a cylinder with 24 sides. Are there any plugins to high light many faces (same size) edit one face which will then duplicate the other face edits at the same time.

Something like what wings3d can do.

Anyone thanks

Hi all

As the title asks.. any good plugins to make easy mesh patterns on a curved surface.

Thanks

export

Hi all

Does anyone know which format SU pro supports with SU layers intact.

If it doesnt does anyonek now a plugin format that would support it.

Thanks

Hi all

I have a sketchup model of a house with many layers/ Does anyone know of a self executable publisher package to protect the file contents and allow the use of layers.

Most of my clients would like a all in one viewer while protecting the 3d model. I don't want to pass around the sketchup format. Zoom move print enable/disable layers would be ideal.

Anyone know of a sketchup compatible viewer with a layer menu including SU compatible export formats if need be. (dwg,dxf)

Thanks

ahh yes thanks

Hi all

Does anyone know of a measuring plugin tool for lines+curves. Or a complete length of any freehand drawn lines.

Thanks

ok its all working now. Thanks

For some reason it doesnt work... Maybe something is wrong with the shape.

And could anyone provide a step by step instructions to this plugin.

So far

I have a group which has a straight circlular springy tube. I have a seperate line path of multiple bends for piping.

For some reason It just wont work.

Oh by the way if you change the AXIS make sure you reset it before using this plugin. Otherwise all you will get is "please select line on red axis"

Version SU 7.1

Anyone got any ideas
