I'm very happy to finally announce the long overdue release of SitePlan, my procedural extrusions implementation. There is information about the project here (or just click here to run; java executable; run at your own risk).
Please use the software! The source code is here. This is a research project and it would really help me if you emailed me screen shots of your project and a description of what you used it for.
Here's a very clumsy demonstration video of me using the software:
And some of the kinds of things you can create if you invest a little more time.
With any luck I'll have the slides from Siggraph converted into video any week now...
looks really cool, will have to look into this more deeply.
ReplyDeleteSome temp instructions about natural steps and profile offsets:
ReplyDeleteTo create profile offsets, double click on the plan, and select "create profile offset".
To create a natural step, click "fetures", "plus", "natural step". Then highlight the new entry in the list, click on the red "0/2" button, and then control-click on a plan and profile edge to create the two anchors. Click the "edit plan" button in the features window to edit the step inserted (again double click on an edge to edit the speed).
