There we are again - this time an update of the eight year old Fiber script by RipSting.
Its a fibers/grass/hair mesh creation addon with loads of parameters.
They who used the old version will notice this one is loads slower, but it works, seems creating big meshes stepbystep has become more heavy with newer Blender…
Keep on testing but this should be complete now.
Its on EWOCprojects.
Problems with site: here.
current version: 3.2.0
Hi Paleajed,
thanks for the script! I was really looking forward to use it for generating cables but it seems I am doing something wrong. I have not used it before so whatever I do parts of these code are poping up. I am using buildbot minGW r47451 Blender build on Win8 Release Preview.
Thanks,
Ivan

Thats why I called it a public test! You all tested well. I rushed the release a bit and it only worked with the custom example files I had been using… Whatever I fixed all bugs (quite a few) and it should at least give you some rsults now. Sorry for the mess.
New version up.
I loved this script when it first came out. It was the only thing that would let you make polygon hair. Before blender added particle hair tools.
The idea of revamping this script was more for quick grass creation
Added correct code that adds UV coordinates to fibers! Also some bugfixing.
This addon should work well now, if more issues let me know.
Thanks palajed. Now I just have to search at the internet wayback machine to see if I can find the the page where all the settings for the script were explained.

Ah there was such a page? Ill need that when writing documentation on the Wiki for it soon!
Is it possible to update this useful script for 2.66 version? It doesn’t seem to work anymore with the latest Blender version. Thanks in advance.
Just updated to 3.2.0 , works on first sight, do test…
Thank you very much! I will try it asap…
