Modeling a glass jar of pasta with MS Physics – Sketchup Tutorial

Today we're going to model a glass jar of pasta.

Extensions (plugins) I’m using:
Memory copy
Joint push pull
SUbD
Quadface tools
Vray for Sketchup

If you want to follow along with all the steps, and recreate this exact model yourself, I suggest you set the speed of the video to 0,25. That way you can follow the tutorial with no problem. But If you’re just here for the speed build timelapse, just sit back and enjoy the video as is, or you can even double the speed.
The rendering is done with Vray plugin for sketchup, but I keep it extremely simple. I just decrease the intensity of the light, increase the size of the sun to get that soft shadows effect and work around refraction and reflection of the materials.
In the lower left corner of your screen you can see what I’m typing but beware, I don’t use Sketchup default shortcuts as you’ll probably notice, but I’ll list all my custom shortcuts right below.

Here is the full list:

Ctrl+1 - Select tool
Ctrl+Q - Draw line
Shift+A - Draw arc
Ctrl+W - Mirror tool (plugin)
Ctrl+Shift+X - Move tool
Ctrl+Shift+A - Offset tool
Ctrl+R (or R) - Rotate tool
Alt+Y - Hidden geometry (on/off)
Ctrl+D - Tape measure
S - Scale tool
E - Eraser
C - Draw circle
Y - Draw rectangle
V - Paint bucket (Alt - Eyedrop tool)
A - Push pull

Hello my friend. Sketchup no longer supports versions prior to 2019. MS Physics plugin does not work in versions above sketchup 2017. What can we do.?

Extraordinary, do you know, is there any plugin that displaces objects from their textures, similar to Mesh from heightmap but generating displacements directly on objects, not from images ?

I have made a vessel using follow me tool and want to pour the boxes into the vessel is not help....
Boxes stuck at the top of the not going inside the

Have you sliced the jar, mine is not allowing objects to fall in ?

Can we make something like Animating Vray textured object with just "Sketchup"(only Sketchup + plugins, no other software and sync), for eg: like realistic moving car created from other software like Blender, maya?
