A Blender Addon created for submission to FOSSEE's IITB Semester Long Internship 2021
Create a Blender Add-On/Plugin that contains 3 'feature sets'. Each feature set builds on top of it's feature set and progresses in difficulty level
Following are expectations on the 3 feature sets:
- Feature Set 1
- The UI Panel will contain 3 Text boxes to accept 3 values representing X, Y, Z coordinates (of the center of the intended sphere) and a slider that is used to set a value representing the radius of the intended sphere.
- The UI Panel will contain a button called 'Display' that will then render the Sphere in the blender interface.
- Feature Set 2
- Add a file input field to the UI Panel created in the Feature Set 1, the uploaded file will be used as a texture file.
- Clicking on a new 'Apply Texture' button should apply the texture file on to the sphere.
- Feature Set 3
- Add a checkbox to the UI Panel.
- Checking the checkbox to True, user can select vertices along the surface of the sphere.
- Clicking on a new 'Change' button should delete the selected vertices or display them in a different colour.
