Thanks a lot guys...at the moment, I'm not sure exactly whats going to come of this. It may just be a blueprint to go about working on it for ourselves (I don't currently know the state of vray fur within the SDK), or it may be its own thing. I'll keep you guys posted, and I hope it gets out there, either as the script or as real fur.
Sorry Nomer, but the chance is very very small at best. I don't really have any desire to learn Ruby, and then there's the whole thing of figuring out how to script within SU. I've currently got a lot on my plate anyway, and programming wise I'm trying to move into a higher, more complex language. Besides, as you imagine this kind of thing is quite complex, so it probably wouldn't be something that would be achievable as a first project. By the time I'd actually getting around to finishing it, Joe would either be there already or be right around the corner.
The other option is that you could try working with Rhino
your right, i downloaded both rhino and vray trial version... just the problem is learning curve. rhino seems like autocad ah and vray rhino is exactly the same vraysu.
of topic (sorry) is it possible to use those visop and su mat doen in sketchup to rhino?
Yep, visopts and materials can go back and forth. The only thing is to make sure that the materials aren't linked materials as I'm not sure what they will do in vfr.
I would suggest that you try and ride out the learning curve for Rhino. I personally don't think its that hard to pick up if you have some AutoCAD experience. Your going to want to use commands to do certain things. Each command is fairly specific as opposed to the general tools that SU has. For basic stuff, SU may be quicker, but once you start getting into complex stuff or organic forms, you'll find that Rhino is much better.
