This is great! Thanks!

[JQL]

care to explain a bit better the wrap UV mode?

[jiminy-billy-bob]

Instead of projecting onto the surface along the vertical axies, Skatter generates the objects directly on the faces.
For now it is only available for the "Random" distribution type.

[JQL]

Seems to be a long time request of mine, but does this mean it follows face's UV mapping or are you defining UV's as sketchup would?

I mean, can we change destribution if we use a texture on the face and change the face's UV mapping with context menu texture > position? Or is your UV just a way of refering to face coordinates but with no special control?

EDIT: Sorry! EXCELLENT Feature! Long time request!

Bitmap distribution is a whole other animal!

[JQL]

I wasn't talking about bitmap distribution. Only on controlling UV global coordinates and let skatter distribution be defined on face. Like simply rotating the UV axis.

?

[jiminy-billy-bob]

This will be relevant when I bring the Wrap mode to Grid and Uniform distribution.
But Random is, well, random ^^ It doesn't follow any pattern or anything like that.

[JQL]

Yes you're right... I guess I was just curious for the potential. Random seems very suited for most jobs! Thanks!

[nektares]

i tried all new features, it works like a charm!

HI, Can you please make more video tutorials ?

Cannot seem to get Skatter (either 1.1.0 or even an older version now) to install properly. The attached document is a screen shot of the error message I receive after uninstalling Skatter and trying to reinstall. Help?

Make sure that Sketchup is closed, and to run the installer as administrator.

[david harned]

Thx jbb. Tried that unsuccessfully unfortunately. Happy for any other tips!

[JQL]

Have you tried running the installer as administrator? Instead of double click on the installer file, try right clickng and "run as admin"

[david harned]

DOH! Just rebooted machine, ran as administrator. All good. Sorry for the bother.

The latest release doesn't seem to have a correct hash. Any way of getting an updated hash so we can go back to running Identified Only? Thanks!

[jiminy-billy-bob]

Try this one : https://d2t08l5uidncyv.cloudfront.net/s ... _setup.exe
