[Plugin]Matchbox_r1.1

Off-Topic:
This plugin has been quarantined.

Dear all,

I fixed some bugs and added more features to my previous Matchbox code. Now you can let these "boxes" evolve and create some strange looking cars. You can also save/load car(s). I haven't got time to add windows and lights though, but I will.

I'm not very sure about this whole idea (besides my own research purpose) like where it should go to make it more meaningful and really appreciate if you guys can provide more thoughts.

A simple readme file is also in the folder.

BTW, if you saved something, would you please post it here? So that I can check bugs you find or interesting things you bring up.

a GREAT plugin indeed!, thanks!

First of all - this is an EXCELLENT plugin! It's fun, it's original - kudos!

However, I have found that either it interferes with Lightup (see error screen cap) or Lightup interferes with it and with Matchbox installed, it seems to prevent Fredo6's Tools on Surface x 1.3 from working at all. You can choose a tool, the icon changes to reflect your tool choice but it will not do anything from there. I uninstalled Matchbox and the Tools on Surface works just fine. Any thoughts?

[craigbic]

By the way - I uninstalled Lightup (I didn't like it anyway) and that fixed that problem, although that's probably something to note, but I use Tools on Surface heavily so I can't just uninstall it. I don't know if it's unique to me so if anyone else is having the same problem, please chime in.

Thanks!

Great! A New version! I'll test it out right away.

As for what to do next, How about adding components like Wing Mirrors and Fenders randomly.

Thank you, Craigbic.

I don't have a specific problem as yours (I don't have those plug-ins), but yes, my code does interfere with other plug-ins. I haven't figured out why cos I'm an amateur at coding. I think I packed all my codes under my own classes and assumed that doing this will avoid interference. Anyone have idea about this?

Wait a sec! I can use Tools on Surface on other objects but not on my "car"s. The issue is that I scaled those cars before they are displayed. So their actual geometries are not what visually displayed. Hope that solves one piece of the puzzle.

i like this plugin but it would be awsome to have all the fenders, panels and roof in diffrent groups

Max, I finally got around to mucking around with Matchbox, and I came up with a lovely little futuristic car, So I decided to make it one of my projects!(Along with building a whole city and making a detailed model of a house)

Anyway, I've added some details to it, and popped it into Hypershot for a quick render.

Enjoy!

Thanks so much for such a great plugin!

Jacob, Thank you for providing an inspiring view of this plugin. Still working on it!

This plug (for me) block some of bezierspline plug-in components: ClassicBezier and CubicBezier.

[KustuRA]

Great plugin! Just love it.

Bugware!

[geh4evr]

And by that you mean what?

Bugware!

And by that you mean what?

Think "Volkswagen".

this looks like a great, quite interesting plugin. But what I want to know is if its compatibility problems were solved already...

[antantantant]

What's the compatibility issue again? I'm kinda out-of-date for a while.

you only need to read the first page.

it seems several important plugins stop working when you install matchbox.

[thomthom]

The problem is that it modifies the behaviour of the standard Ruby classes; viewtopic.php?f=180&t=12423&p=125042&hilit=matchbox#p103041

[KiraNL]

It seems to break VRay too, Funny plugin tho.

Can you elaborate? What happens? Errors?
I looked at the source code and I could not see any thing that would interfere...
