Tesselate/extrude script (new release : may 31, 2004)

Your script seems to be realy popular… :wink:

Nice images…

Maybe you can add some random functions,
like: initial random , per step random.
A undo can also be handy.

And again thanks for your good work.

yes, good idea : there is yet one or two possibilities, but
we can write a more complete block with nice modulators.

I have a problem getting this script to work.
I’m using blender 2.30 and python 2.32.
At first I had my python path wrong and it said something about failed to import module random. at line 14
Now it says something like this: couldn’t import _random in line 61.
So i checked it and it is line 61 in the random module.
Further more it says something about yield bieng a reserved keyword.
Anybody knows whats going on?
whrandom seems to be deprecated from python 2.0 and above.

Test this new one:

Note that blender does not work corredtly with python2.3 on win32
systems.

aha, thanx jms. I tried the e and f release of the script.
My thoughts are that it is python 2.3x thats ruining my day of tesselation madness.
I.ll try python 2.2x and let you know if that works.

it worked with the python 2.23 version although in the h version of your script, there’s still a ‘)’ to many in line 331 aprox where n0= (0,0)).
And it uses whrandom instead of random.

now how do you make those beautifull forms. if i try out a few options al I end up with is a lump of chaotic crystallike forms. :-?

Ok, corrected now.

Hi, I tried go to your web pages, but i have a problem - i can not reach them - not exist…:frowning: Could you check it?
thanx vm

Sorry, the site is on the huge free server in France and, time to time, there is some problems due to the succes. It works now.

The last tesselate version had a bug, corrected now:
http://jmsoler.free.fr/util/blenderfile/tesselate/tesselate8_7h.py

Upon pressing the “make it” button I get the following console output when I run this script:

Run Python script “tesselate8_7h.py” …
In Object_GetSelected()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “tesselate8_7h.py”, line 914, in bevent

AttributeError: mode

I am using Linux, Python 2.3 and blender 2.28. I have used version 8_6 with few problems. While I am on the subject, what am I doing wrong in 8_6 so that when I use the matrix option the extrusion effect can only seem to go in one direction. Lastly, if I set the total fragmentation by face option, again in 8_6, the object disappears leaving only the origin dot and no vertices, etc…

Any ideas ?
Thank you,
Zaug

If you can use blender2.28c instead. Tested under win32, no problem.
