scripts and extensions for Blender
There's a gallery here: http://peripheralarbor.com/gallery/v/CG+Art/scripts/
I like to develop each of these scripts as its own Blender file. Here's an overview:
CrystalTools.py Okay, so this one isn't its own Blender file. It should be though! There are/were some persistent bugs in it that I haven't been able to iron out. I keep hoping that Blender will allow python code as custom modifiers. Perhaps this is possible with Geometry Nodes, but that's still under heavy development, and seems to be a vertex shader wrapper anyway. The script itself creates convex solids based on center-to-point plane definitions, or on existing faces (flattening and joining them). It's also possible to use adjacency pairs to do voronoi volume calculation, though the neighbor finding code is very inefficient (brute force N^N).
ProcgenVase.blend What it says on the tin. Uses a base vertex chain template, randomizes the vertex locations, and applies a few modifiers for an easy-to-modify and lightweight vase model.
spaceship_generator.blend A Bender Geometry Nodes setup for generating starships!
spaceship_generator_Boxy.blend With another variation that does more long tall boxy ships.
ProcgenBookshelf.blend A fun little recursive space-filling bookshelf thing. Originally written to generate concepts for this book shelf: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GyDFPL5yJZh22F968
ProcgenBook.blend This isn't actually a script at all yet! Just laying the groundwork for it so far. Shouldn't be too hard to do, though getting it to animate properly could be a real challenge. Something with dynamic vertex weights and an armature? We'll see.
Deco Vines.blend I started this project to create decorative vines for a cabinet laser burning project I was working on. Remarkably flexible!
