[Plugin] Make Fur v.2.1.0(20140323)

[rickgraham]

Hi, Jeff and rick.
I update Fur_en.rb

The WebDialog has problem in Mac OSX.
So I put another menu for the correspondence of this problem.
The menu named "fur!(MAC)".
Using InputBox Dialog.
How in this?

I cannot tell what the intended difference between the 1 - Linear and 2- Arch are. By the way, the Mac only shows 1,2,3,4 - I saw another persons screen shot which showed me what they were for.

Absolute fantastic

Somehow I can't seem to generate short hair?
I set the "Lenght" to 0.0001 but the hair doesn't seem to get shorter then approx. 50 mm!

It would be nice to be able to save presets!!!

Great job

Teddy fur.

Which all but choked SU to death.

Really nice one I missed from a long time... Thanks.

Thanks tak2hata,

I can see this plugin becoming a great favorite

[utiler]

No way!!

Now I can see what a woman looks like with a beard.

[Whaat]

Great plugin! Thanks for sharing!

[CadFather]

Just when you think you've seen it all.. tak2hata comes along with another great idea...thanks!

Hi, Thanks a lot for such an interesting plugin!

Creating Too Much Polygon is very slow.
And to use code "entities.fill_from_mesh" must need blank Group.
This Plugin executes each selected faces.
Creating Group each new 800 polygons.
so it parts.

I have a request as a developer. Can you add an option to attach a fur parameters to a SU material as attributes. Multiple exporters to rendering programs could call your plugin to receive info on location and parameters of the fur. Instead of choking SU, an exporter would get the geometry info (EDIT: transformations of components) from your plugin and translate it into the rendering program entities, without creating it inside SU.

Would it be possible?

Cheers
Tomasz

yes please..

Oooh! Good idea. Keep all data as attributes per face. And use simple lines (in reduced numbers) to represent the fur.

That would be great!

i'm making everything furry!

I am testing the plugin and have noticed that it doesn't take an area of a triangle into account. It think it won't be that hard to fix.

[thomthom]

That's probably because of MaxNumber(/Face) setting you have set. The Dencity(Num/m2) appears to deal with the area, but larger faces needs more fur, so you need to increase the MaxNumber.

[olishea]

so much fun!!

would be nice if there was a "set defaults" button....and if it remembered your settings between tweaking.

would also be good if the grass was automatically placed on a new layer so you can quickly turn it off or on....you could render the scene without the geometry even being present.

one more THANK YOU
...and one more request in such a tool it's usefull having the Esc key available, to stop the process if it take too long than expected

That is easier said than done. It's difficult to get any key press events while scripts are running. Though I thing Fredo has some feature like that...

[massimo]

Really funny thank you tak2hata!

[KarinaGM]

Wow!
Amazing tool.
I've just downloaded it and can't wait to start (playing) experimenting

THANKS!

..

I believe so... eg 'round corner' can do it

[tak2hata]

I updated the plugin. it's version 1.0.

I saw some requests now.
It seems to be difficult in my skill.
Hereafter, I will study Ruby more.

Yea, you've started something.
If you need help with anything just ask at this forum, people are happy to help.

beautiful plugin.

I placed the grass on hidden layer and replaced the component with a single line. Then rendered in twilight using "render all hidden layers" option.

so each line represents blade of grass.
