hate to be a thread necro, but did anyone ever come up with this?

I love this plugin. Can't believe how fast it is.

But I'm having trouble nailing down settings for a particular type of grass - anyone want to take a stab at it?

North Carolina tidal grass, 6+ feet tall:

I think it's all green in the early summer, but I'm having trouble finding photos.

sorry for the stupid question, but I can't test this at the moment.

does this script take geometry and lay it flat, or does it create a projection onto the work plane?

I'm looking for a script that will take a bunch of randomly oriented faces and lay them out nice and flat on the ground plane. For lasercutting, so I don't want them projected/distorted.

Thanks,
C

I probably should have stated that a bit better.

I would like to export shadow lines as vector data in order to create diagrams in illustrator. I could have sworn I had one that would do that, but I think I was thinking of the shade_analysis_tool.rb. I may be able to use that along with livetrace to do what I need.

Thanks though.

Hi All,
I remember having a shadow mapping .rb that would trace out the shadows of given geometry, but I can't find it. I tried the demo of 1001 shadows but it seems to have trouble with anything but the simplest geometry. What other scripts turn shadows into geometry?

Thanks,
