Been using SU for about 12 years and have gotten use to weird foibles - been sitting on this for a while but had to sort it lol

Thanks for that TIG. Oh my lord I can't remember when I actually d-loaded that plugin - seems an age ago - apologies! Ah weird when I do install Mirror a pop-up appears asking me to install Fredo's library, like when I install that it suddenly allow's Fredo's plugins to work also - arg! Must be some sort of permissions nightmare. I'll re-install when I get some jobs out of the way and report back...

Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone could point me to a solution to the dreaded having to install plugins/check toolbar boxes over and over again problem - every time I boot I have to re-install Fredo's Mirror ruby, Vertex Tools, etc. - it's been happening for years, and I know there's been many discussions but are there some definitive things I could troubleshoot? Permissions problem or something? Win 8, SK Pro 2015

Cheers,

• Rich

Off to the Duh Thread - thanks TIG.

Is there a way to do this/has anyone seen a plugin around? I'm using C4D with 3ds export for animation, problem being if there is a change to geometry I have to save out the concerned group as a component, open the component, and export from there. Maybe I'm missing a simpler pipeline...

Thanks!

Thoroughly better than the new Mission Impossible movie, even at imax, put it that way.

Oh Lordy this ruby kicks ass! Thanks!

Woop - looks promising cheers!

Was looking for something that has a height/width dialog?

I'm sure there is one out there but can only seem to find the cylinder edition!

Can anyone share a link?

Thanks!

Anyone have problems with this on OSX? Chaos don't seem to be getting back to me!

Yep - that one is pretty much the one in the manual...

And none of the documentation is for OSX - not that that really matters, but there may be something I'm missing.

Cheers guys.

I'm also having problems with the distributed render...Vray wont even look for my servers - when I click resolve, nothing happens...

Any tips?

Hmmm...A little help appreciated!

I've been having a look around but can't find any tutorials on this for osx (am I right in assuming most of the stitchers are on windows?) - just picked up vr4su over the weekend so am very new to it. I did a few straight from SU a few years back, but the addition of an external has thrown me off

?So the workflow is?:

1. Export an image w/360deg FOV

2. Pop it into a stitcher

...

Any help would be great.

Cheers!

Wireframe at this stage...

Hi guys and gals,

I was wondering, has anyone come across a script that allows dxf output of animation frames? For instance, you can export animation frames to jpg, was wondering if this could be done for dxf instead. Would be really sweet for animation of vector files later (say in After Effects etc.)...

Thanks!

• Rich.

Haha - are you serious?

It's obvious you are pretty new to internet forums.

May I suggest that you relax - this is a 'community forum'.

Hmmm...Kind of don't want to have a discussion with you now though.

AND I used Max 5 over the weekend too. Too bad.

I always look back fondly at the 'Deconstructionist' VHS I had at school, where he turns and mutters something at Hadid - Hadid looks at him condescendingly, doesn't reply, flicks her hair, and looks the other way

I read his new manifesto and its attack on digital mediums, form finding, and the new generation being 'apathetic' - and was actually quite offended, considering it was his generation that has burdened this one with a whole array of social and planetary concerns. He could at least be constructive with the criticism. But he did design a stadium that looks like a coiled snake recently - so what can I say.

Am enjoying the new humanist approach he is having as he comes to grips with his own mortality (Ouch?)

Just kidding.

While I agree that some of the recent design form-finding excursions using various 'process orienated' design techniques are pretty vacuous tech-reinforcement (apart from some of the firms formed by ex-OMA architects) - I'm not quite convinced there is any right or wrong methodology to design, only that there are new schools and old(er) schools, just as philosophy tends to develop, and there is a validity to all of them (whether failed or not). Also for something to be empty of meaning, we have to first decide upon what 'meaning' really consists of and quantify it, and I think that will always be up in the air. I got into generative stuff through Wolfram, evolutionary theory and biomimicry originally, and I think that an understanding of generative systems will ultimately inform the design community on a few beneficial levels at some point. Specifically I'm thinking the use of computational design to assist in the challenges urban housing will face in the next 50 years, and biomimicry to aid in sustainable futures. But I'm only in my early 20's - so who knows, I may become an Eiseman yet.

Sorry off topic just had to add my 2 cents.

Back to VL!

I downloaded the Rhino SR3 pack last night and am running Grasshoper now. Very exciting to experiment using VAD - it just seems so logically set out too. Genuis.

Sorry to veer off topic slightly with generative design but it has been floating my boat as of late.
