LOIC TUTORIAL UPDATE

Some of us are simply collectors by nature, while others are architects, video game designers, scientists, or simply 3D-geeks looking for nice models to fiddle with (and I definitely fall into this category!)РІР‚В¦Р”Р„nd Sketchfab offers all of us a great resource: plenty of freely downloadable models that you can actually inspect before downloading, and re-use under the terms of Creative-Commons licenses, the most common being the CC-attribution.

Sketchfab is a great place to admire amazing models of creature and character sculpts, ancient artifacts, geology sites, technology designs, and wonderful 3D stuff in generalРІР‚В¦ And I guess we all get that СЂСџВвЂ°Р”В«ut it is also a great platform to get access to free and high (sometimes very high) quality 3D assets and props that many of us РІР‚вЂњ the community РІР‚вЂњ like to download and re-use for various purposes. In this post IРІР‚в„ўll therefore detail the workflow and tools I use to create such collections of assets РІР‚вЂњ using Python in Blender! Why I think Sketchfab is great СЂСџв„ўвЂљ Lately IРІР‚в„ўve been creating and sharing a few collections of lowpoly assets by reprocessing some 3D scans hosted on Sketchfab under Creative Commons licensing schemes: body scans, rocks, sticks, mushrooms, but also fruits and vegetables scanned for the Horn of Plenty scanning challenge, or animal skulls from the great collection of UVic LibrariesРІР‚В¦

I also modified a lot of the python code while improving the addon, but this had the side-effect of making almost every link in this article obsoleteРІР‚В¦ I still hope youРІР‚в„ўll enjoy the read! 1 РІР‚вЂњ Introduction

Update (0): The addon I am developing, BakeMyScan, is now hosted on. I have close-to-zero artistic skills, a bit more practical skills related to programming in general, and I really enjoy discovering and messing around with 3D techniques, mostly in Blender.

I am LoР“Р‡c, a French РІР‚Сљlots-of-things enthusiastРІР‚Сњ as I like to describe myself, and recently I got into 3D as a hobby in parallel to my job as a research engineer in scientific computing, for which I am used to РІР‚СљscientificРІР‚Сњ 3D, especially in the fields of applied mathematics.
