[Plugin] Make Fur (Updated - v.1.5a Thu Oct 28, 2010)

[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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

? 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.

[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.

[ramdelgp]

[gospodja]

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?
