Example for viewport labelsThis macroscript allows you to turn on text labels for specific scene nodes, so you can permanently see the node names in the viewport, even if they currently are not selected. This is for the viewport only (the labels will not render) and the label will follow the bounding box of your nodes, whether you animate them, or change their geometry in any other way.

Clay Render

 

One click will render your scene as a 'clay' style image, leaving the scene, materials and all your render settings exactly as they are. Code has been updated to create the floor plane at the lowest vertex in the scene, and to make it easier to customise (different renderers, alter the material colour, environment background and light type).

Smart Poly Extrude

39 votes

I saw this thread and decide to make a script. :)

Then Syphorlate show a very elegant solution for quadratic extrusion and I add it to the script.

This is the final version of this script. Any future development of smart extrusion is in Syphorlate hands.

39 votes

GTools_ImageTracer Script


The script takes an image and creates a spline representing the contour of the black pixel areas.

The image must be black and white, if its not it will get convert it to black and white.

You have control on the image resolution and the threshold value.
Once the image is traced you can smooth and optimize the resulting spline

UPDATES:

v 1.01 , March 04 2010: now you can optimize and smooth shapes with more then one spline in it.
