I know from Scorpius there is a Voronoi Encrust bug on Mac. Will fix soon. Here's the best Wings3D to use with ManifoldLab Plugins. http://sourceforge.net/projects/wings/files/wings/wings-1.1.4.exe Won't work with old versions ... seems not to work with 1.1.5 yet. So anyway ... fairly up-to-date, but not leading edge tested. Bjorn and Other Devs have been active and changing some items in the Wing3D core at a pace where I'll have to do frequent releases ... or it will not work with development versions. I will test with STABLE version in a minute. Yeah ... it does not work with the stable version and probably never will. This is because of major changes being made in the core. I'm probably going to have to do a better job of documenting what version of Wings3D you can expect to be compatible with ManifoldLab. At least for the short term. I fully expect some bugs with ManifoldFunctions that used to be understandable. So please report NEW BUG first, and also maybe you can report on some old bug that I should also treat. If I could get a few long time Manifold Users chiming in sooner, rather than later ... maybe we can help any manifold newbies avoid some pitfalls/bugs. Last Edited By: ggaliens 07/06/09 05:58:34.

It works as follows ... 1) Create a shape like a bloated tetrahedron (tesellate, inflate) 2) Make sure the shape has at lest a few hundred faces via tesselation. 3) Enclose a hull around it with say 5000 points. 4) Hull may be inside the original shape so don't be fooled. 4) Toss away original shape and now you have something more organically tesselated ... which is the seed from which we can get reptile scales. 5) Tighten the verts across entire object to equalize things a little. 6) Sweep (extrude) individual faces in the normal direction (think rasied scales) 7) Smooth less divide the new object. This will help the scales keep current shapes Now do a regular smooth of the object. DONE ... you have some weird aligator skin looking shape.

Would be cool if I could get some feedback (Tungeen ??? Other long time ManifoldUsers)

(07/02/09 14:05:17) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I will make sure my Scatter plugin is up-to-par. It functions as an array plugin ... as does my extended version of put on. Tell me seriously ... what array CAN'T you make with Put on ??? I know you would rather nothave to use a template object to do the array ... but that's not such a bad thing. Not hard either.

I tried that one out on Wings 1.1.4.1 and it did not crash. I just tried it as a test to see if I could recreate the glass paperweight with air bubbles (see in my Kerkythea renders thread) using your plugin. I guess "up-to-par" means you are still working on it. Would it be possible for the new objects to not intersect each other? (I think maybe your were already working on that if I remember right). Also it would be good if the scale of the objects could be set to vary between a range of sizes both larger and smaller in size. I know you said you were not going to continue working on the ribbit plugin. Is there any chance you might be willing to keep working on it? Maybe if you limited it to Pixie it wouldn't be as much work. I played with it in Wings 1.0.1 and it works with Pixie but doesn't find the shaders. There is also no problem when editing materials when using Pixie but there is a problem when using Aqsis. It doesn't work at all with 1.1.4.1. I understand if you don't want to work on this anymore. Just seems a shame for this to go away. Thanks, oort

(07/03/09 05:40:50) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I need to re-code, re-add "Scatter At" (at vertex) This should help with bubbles. I can some day detect overlaps as well. Ribbit ... Just temp removed until I can find the compatibility issue that seems breaking wings.

(07/03/09 07:33:31) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Yes I did use the scale allowance. I was just thinking it would be nice if one could scale the scattered object both up and down. I was also thinking it would be neat if one could set a min and max separation between scattered objects. Great to hear you will continue work on ribbit... Thanks, oort

I'm downloading now, would report if find any problem I'm glad about ribbit as well, especially now Wings doesn't have Open GL Renderer anymore:).

It expects a directory /tmp which is always available on Mac. But not so much on PC. So just make it. I'll fix in next release. [Edit: Fixed, Released]. Last Edited By: ggaliens 07/06/09 05:59:21.

Hope to fix a few of the worst offenders this week. These bugs arose from a change to the Wings3D CORE that is out of my control. I just need to keep up with the pace of Wings3D design though. But for this reason ... I may need to start making a more serious recommendation about which version to use (Stable or older ... who knows ... right now Manifold needs Wings 1.1.4
