[JClements]

? Wondering if anyone familiar with the various settings could produce a PDF (or some other document type) that would explain and diagram each of the parameters. ?

[Fletch]

JC,
Does THIS help at all?

[JClements]

Hi Fletch:

Yes it does. What a nice Christmas present.

Regards,
John

[plot-paris]

hey Fletch, really great reference card. if plugin creators were able to add information to the instructor window in SketchUp, it should be this reference card...

[AcesHigh]

its a great tool, but I never use it because file size gets so big and the scene so heavy.

There is only ONE file [.rb] and that goes into the Plugins folder; the remaining files stay inside their sub-folder [fur] that goes into Plugins... If you have misplaced files please tidy up... You should then get a 'menu item' under Plugins ?

Got a question, how do I grow grass on a large scale? Just copy and paste?

Would anyone like to share their presets file? There used to be one with a few settings and I just unstalled the latest and now its empty!

[azhka]

Dude Thanks alot! this is a kick ass plug in

[Soundtracker]

Great plugin, thanks!!
Which do you think is the best way to create grass along a very large surface? I tried various methods but my model keeps crashing, i suppose due to the large number of polygons

When I try to download it the zip file only has 5 png. files within it nothing else..., is there somewhere else I can download this from??

The zip is fine!
There's a .rb file and a folder containing the png file.
The .rb file goes into your Plugins folder, as does the folder containing the png files...

[schirmer.charles]

Thanks TIG!!

I didn't have the .rb file. It's working now!

[DeathClone]

Thank A LOT!!!
The very best plug-in for SU.
Works wonders!

[billychaics]

i downloaded the folder only contains the icon png files, does the grass need anything else other than .rg and the icon png files? because i am not getting any grasses on my surface.

[Gaieus]

Hi Billy,

There are two ways to build the grass:

• you select a surface and get geometry generated by the plugin
• or you use some of your own components (say a piece of grass) and populate the surface with that component.

[billychaics]

Thanks man i get it right, i guess i just need to press enter haha

[cik dib]

cool

[dereeei]

Any tutorial or explanatory PDF, please?
I can't understand all those parameters.

What I understand (or I think I do):
Type - the shape of the "fur"
Density - how much fur on square meter
Max number/ Face - overrides "Density" and limit the number of fur/face (not dependent of face area)
Length - how long the fur is
RootWidth - width at base (if not rectangular)
Divide - segments-define curvature smoothness

direction x,y,z - how the fur is oriented
Units - what units to use (metriv / US)
_________________________________________________

This is what I understand, with the explanation that I think it is... the other settings I have no idea what they do. Please explain them to me.

I want to make a "furry carpet", but what I get is or all fur oriented in same direction, or many of them, pointing downwards, trough my floor. How to make randomly oriented fur?

Thank you.
Please help me.

Thanks one thousand times!

There are also two buttons: Assign to Material and Get from Material. They seem to do nothing, but I'm sure that they do. I just don't know how to use them.

How to apply texture on created faces? That buttons are related to this? Don't tell me that I must apply texture on every shape created
Thanks.
