Blender has a handy script built-in that lets us export multiple selected objects in our scene as separate objects. I remember mentioning this principle in abeefy article focussing on Unreal Engine workflow, but
For 3D printing, surfaces are converted to a mesh format that describes geometry as a cloud of connected triangular faces and vertices. Mesh conversion is like smashing a perfectly smooth mirror, then gluing back together all the bits and pieces to make it look like the original. Done badly,...
The controls in RUBE are quite similar to blender. For example: You can move the camera by dragging the scene with the right mouse button. You can select and deselect items with the left mouse button. Which items you can select is determined by the mode your are in. You can switch the...
In aprevious tutorial, you learned how to send real-time information across sockets, to facilitate one-way communication between a server and a client. In this step, you will build on top of a fully-fledged product of that tutorial, MirrorVR, which handles the mediating server in client-to...
Blenderis an open-source software, supported by public donations as well as companies like Google, which is mainly used in blended films, 3D printing designs, visual effects, interactive 3D applications, engineering models, and more. Is It Possible to Recover Deleted Blends?
Programmers who write computer games put enormous effort into defining 3-D worlds so that you can wander in them without encountering anything that makes you think, “That couldn't happen in this world!" The last thing you want to see is two solid objects that can go right through each ot...
Unfortunately POV-Ray doesn’t export objects in a format that can be 3D printed or can be loaded by Simplify 3D. So I had to use CAD software Blender 3D to create another version of the robot just so that I could load it into Simplify 3D and create that screen grab. It only took ...
For example, if you have a Ryzen 9 5950X (offering 32 threads), you’d want to have 32-64 GB of RAM. How Much RAM Do You Need for CAD? For designing mathematically precise graphs that mirror physical objects, you’ll want to use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) vector software. If you...
Add dimension easily to your drawings by replicating and repositioning mirror replicas of an object through comprehensive modeling symmetry. Tools such as Polygon Reduction and PolyPen also reduce the number of polygons in models, making it easier to edit and customize objects without compromising the...
Environment mapping is when we map the environment as a texture, which can simulate the reflective effect of the mirror. 1.8 LOADING MODELS Three.js has built in a lot of commonly used geometry, such as sphere, cube, cylinder, and so on. In real world use, it is often requi...
