#bpyhullgen Installation

Requirements

  • bpyhullgen uses Blender (version 2.92 or later) to generate the mesh geometry.

Under the hood bpyhullgen uses Blender Python API

Blender is usually bundled with it's own version of python so no additional dependencies are needed. At the time of this writing blender was bundled with Python 3.7

bpyhullgen has been tested on Linux. I have not tried it on other platforms yet.

Installation

To install I copy the code to my blender config directory:

~/.config/blender/2.92/scripts/addons/

The following commands should work to download and install on linux:

cd ~/.config/blender/2.92/scripts/addons/
git clone git@github.com:edzop/bpyhullgen.git
cd bpyhullgen
git submodule update --init

Because the project uses git submodules - the additional submodule update command (listed above) is needed to pull the submodule files.

Once it's installed to the addons/bpyhullgen folder you need to goto blender menu Edit -> Preferences -> Addons and enable the addon.

Auto installation package

It's possible to package it up into a .zip file for auto installation but I haven't researched how to do this yet.
