Is it possible to make carpet with this plugin? I think rounded cilinder shape should be good enough.

[innervito]

Nice patch. Is that just one plain colour for the grass?

[rlsb2006]

paulower: that's a nice setup. Thanks for sharing.

That's it thomthom. We are here also for these share.
Is a tip for the staff, if possible to share their techniques and components (maps, textures) of grass and others.

Hi,All.
I update fur plugin to verion1.3j.
Increased translatable words for local language file.
Franch translation by Daredevil.
Persian translation by Majid.
Spanish translation by Oxer.
Thanks you very mush.

Thanks.

This is the translation of Make Fur to languaje Portuguese-BR (Brazil) by me.

Tak2hata would be possible in the next version, you increase the size of the buttons "Assign Material to" and "Get Stuff From." Is that in Portuguese, we have more characters in the translation and some letters may not appear on the icon (button).

You can see who is running smoothly letters with accents and numerical symbols.

keren brur...

This is a great plugin, as another poster has said, it's great for landscaping.

Just have a quick question though....

How can I get a component to 'reproduce' at roughly the same size as the original component? Everytime I try, no matter what I fiddle with, the instances become helluva lot bigger than oringal and I have to scale them down everytime.

Thanks in advance, sorry for the (probable) stupid question.

[quote="tak2hata"]Hi,
Thank you for using this plugin.

hey nice plugin i want to try it also coz i think its cool..

[tak2hata]

I updated fur_en.version 1.5a.
Added Preview mode.
Preview only points of density.

Thanks.

I love the fur plugin! Thank you for this update; a preview is such a great idea. Is it possible to simplify the toolbar/menu options to eliminate the PC or Mac buttons (depending on what system you're running)? I'm on a PC and I have tried deleting all reference to the Input Box at the end of the script, but I get this error:

Error Loading File fur_en.rb
C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/fur_en.rb:2083: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting kEND.

Obviously there is something else calling on the Input Box references.

Thank you Mister Tak2hata, for your fantastic plugin...

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.

[paulower]

Hello everyone. I really enjoyed this new feature. I also updated the language to Portuguese-pt-BR this new version: (v1.5a)

Whenever possible, I will update the translation of new versions on same post:

Hug!

Exellent wor Tak2hata, congrats! I just downloaded this at work... can't wait to try it out at home, since in my company I only do interior... wait a minute, what about a nice carpet, yeeees that's it!

[Gaieus]

Thanks tak2hata for this new version - the preview is indeed useful (no need to experiment till I get what I need!)

[goWentgone]

Hi,

I've got SketchUP 8 pro, although it seems really easy to use this plugin, I don't get any fur...
I know which settings I should have, but when I click on assign to material, nothing happens...

any step by step explanation would be great!

thanks in advance.

[nektares]

Thanks! since i saw this one it instantly became one of my top plugins!

[fuzzion]

Fur used to work for me. I didnt use fur for a while.Since then, i installed various plugins including the tgi3d amorph plugin.

Now it does not work.

It installed fine.

It shows up in my tool bar

I select face and click make fur with default settings but nothing happens. Even preview doesn't work.

I tried it on SU8 where i have only installed the TGi3d plugin, and it does not work.

This is an important plugin so any help is greatly appreciated

PS. Every other plugin works fine.

[cupko]

In rollout menu Make by Component select No instead fur_instance.

[fuzzion]

In rollout menu Make by Component select No instead fur_instance.

I tried that on both SU8 and 7.1 but it still does not work. I can click the 'make fur' button
a million times but nothing happens

Hi fuzzion.
now ,I couldn't find the solution for this problem.

I want to see the dialog of the "fur" on your computer.

and show "ruby console" before clicking the "make fur" button.
(showing "ruby console" is in "windows" in the menubar)
if it shows some error message when clicking make fur button,
I want to see it.

Thanks.

I had an older version that was working for me in SketchUp 7, can't remember what version it was, but I recently downloaded the newest version for my SketchUp 8 Pro (fur_en_15, I think it was called) and it's not functioning right. I get green dots instead of grass or fur. I'll post some screenshots for you.

Older fur maker in SKUP 7:

Fur_en_15 in SKUP 8 Pro:

In the meantime, I've copy/pasted the older furmaker into SKUP 8 and THAT is working, it's just growing the grass upside down.

[rombout]

whatever i try icant seem to make anything....
im trying to make simple grass like the example on page one, but im using a component. the mesh only gets rotated just a bit.
Also when i try it with plain geometry nothing really happens.
im using su6 on mac osx 10.5.6

First I want to say thank you for making this plugin

Regarding Ruby console, nothing shows up at all.
Only green dots appear on the selected plane.

Should I install an older version of Fur?
I have tried re-installing plugin into folders, but
that did not help. Should i re-install
Sketchup? Do you think another plugin is causing the problem?

PS. Is it possible for future releases to include make Hair with gravity ? Like create cylinderical shape with taper at the end.

Below is the screenshot .

I have the same results in Sketchup 8 Pro, they make some kind of dots that's it...

The old version works but I wish the new version works in S8. Thank you for your hard work.

the Plugins is awesome...

[kalu]

Hi:

Can you fix the problem with Sketchu 8 and works with other plugins or we need to keepp using the older version?....

[Jim]

After you see the green dots, press the ENTER key.

[fuzzion]

After you see the green dots, press the ENTER key.

That works ...You are a legend mate

[lapx]

Can the settings be saved to the harddrive in a file to be shared with others?

[tak2hata]

Hi fuzzion,gr8fzy1,kalu and Jim.
I'm sorry about not visitting here recently.
Thank you very much for this solution.

In Webdialog,
"Preview fur" makes only green points for examining density.
"Make fur" makes furs.

In Inputbox,
"OK" button makes preview points everytime.
after that ,press Enter key to make fur.
or press ESC key to return Inputbox.

Hi,rombout.
Perhaps this is not solution,I think now.

The First Idea:
Make fur is only makes on faces.(and mesh)
When the mesh is in group or component and selecting group,MakeFur doesn't work.
Open the group and select faces or meshes.

The Second Idea:
That is bug.
I didn't solve the problem about webdialog in mac os ,yet.
If it does not make fur by using inputbox too,this problem is bug in recent version.
So I will upload older versions.

Thanks.
