Addons built from real problems. · Small tools. Big difference.

---

Free addons that eliminate repetitive workflow steps for digital artists.

Starting with Blender and r/blender, the goal is to expand across DCC tools (Houdini, Maya, Cinema 4D, etc.) and artist communities — automatically surfacing pain points and shipping targeted solutions wherever artists are struggling.

Plugins

DCC	Plugin	Description
Blender	Fluid Domain Auto-Visibility	One-click visibility keyframing for fluid simulation domains
Blender	Selective Edge Split	Split panel gap edges without touching render sharps
Houdini	Scale COP	Scale, fit, and tile images in Copernicus — letterbox, fill, crop, and tiling in one node

Research Pipeline

Plugin ideas are sourced from r/blender using a two-stage pipeline:

# 1. Crawl Reddit for pain points (requires .env with REDDIT_USER_AGENT)
python -m src.crawlers.reddit

# 2. Classify raw posts with Claude to find plugin opportunities
python -m src.digest.agent data/raw/<raw_file>.json data/digests/<output>.json

Output lands in data/digests/ as JSON files with classified opportunities.

Setup

pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env — set REDDIT_USER_AGENT=funkworks/0.1 by u/YOUR_USERNAME

Running Tests

pytest
