Hi

my sketchup has become quite unstable (when using octane render), and i therefore deactivated my license and uninstalled sketchup.

but to my surprice, the newly installed sketchup has some of the old plugins, and it seems i somehow can't get rid of them.

i have tried to uninstall them via the extension manager - and it goes fine. but when i restart sketchup - they are all back

can anyone help?

thanks
jorgensen

@anton_s
just curious - are you working on this plugin / feature?

thanks

SSS - Soft Surface Simulator

Hi Anton

I think you should think in search therms / what it does - use words that people search for - i searched for "cloth simulator", so that would be my suggestion (even though is does more).

Will I be possible to pick the cloth itself - and deform it?

Can you talk about an estimated development time? Like one week or two months?
(I know it can be difficult talking about that).

Thanks
Jorgensen

hi anton

my personal thought - release it as quick as possible

but if i was you, i would design it as a "cloth plugin" for sketchup, that makes it very clear what the plugin is used for - and consider make it a "pay for" plugin - good plugins takes time to develop and i'm sure people will pay, if the quality is there

thanks
jorgensen

That would be very very cool Anton!

It would make cloth creating a lot easier.
Just create a flat cloth, add a nice texture, animate the cloth onto a chair, stop the animatin, make small adjustments with artisan or like - and render.

Can we set the resolution of the cloth?

Thanks
Jorgensen

So it might work with msphysics?

I hope as I don't have access to su 2016 anymore.

Ok. Have that.

I was just surprised that it works in sketchup 2017 / 64 bit.

Jorgensen

and how the ..... have you made that fantastic cloth?
i don't see that as a material type...

hi faust

that is so cool - i have tried to install MSPhysics in sketchup 2017, and it seems to run - do i need more than that?

thanks
jorgensen

hi pilou

thanks - drape cpoints looks very interesting. i will test that out.

thanks
jorgensen

hi

i wonder if anyone knows of a standalone cloth simulator?
i would like to create a plaid that lays over a chair, like the one in the attached image.

i have tried using artisan, but i'm finding it quite hard (but maybe not impossible) to create something similar.

therefore, does anyone now of a plugin that can simulate cloth in sketchup, or some kind of standalone simulator that imports obj files (the chair) and exports obj files?

any input is very welcome
jorgensen

just tried to grow an ivy and render with octane.

it seems that octane somehow moves or resets the leaves scale or something....

does anyone know what's going on and if it can be fixed?

thanks
jorgensen

has anyone got this to work with su2017?

thanks
