Modlumi - Easy 3D modelling

pilou

This one above is perfect for the 2 Rails / Profils! Excellent for a speedy volume!
Of course you can add a "scalling rail" like a third rail but...

I had thought about also a more simple first : Sweep with % (like the% Move Rotate existing)
So same face Start and End but with a different size! And only one rail !
Both seems useful!

I'm reading the instructions carefully, but I can't manage to install the plugin.

for th image import issue, it works now.
For hte kitchen maker plugin. Do we only have to download plugin.json and and pic it from the plugin manger?

Guide Lines and Points works as expected in Web version 0.15
But absolutely not in the Desktop version 0.15 ! So Bug!

What did you do different for the image import that it works now?

I assume you only downloaded the plugin.json file, and picked that? Modlumi assumes a plugin lives in its own folder so it will pick all files surrounding that plugin.json file. You need to download the full github repo as a zip file. Sorry about that, the instructions on the GitHub repo were vague. I'm fixing that!

I've put detailed instructions here: https://modlumi.com/docs/user-guide/plugins/#install-a-plugin-from-github - Can you let me know if that works?

Cheers,

Hello Thomas,
I'm not familiar with Gihub, so I still can't find any "ZIP" or "Download ZIP" button on the Github page

Krass

ok, I found it following your installing manual, Sorry. My impatience...

No worries! GitHub is a website where you can host program source code for free. It'll become even more important in the future because more and more non-programmers are using AI to create code. GitHub is the perfect place to share that code.

I downloaded the zip file and first placed it on my desktop, then went to modlumi/extensions/install a plugin/; I selected the zip file and got an error.
So, I moved the zip file to the user/local/modlumi/plugins folder and tried again, but got another error message.

@krass You need to upgrade to v0.15. Your build is out of date.

thanks Thomas,
The plugin is nice. Being able to place a piece of furniture aligned to the right or left with a single click is great. However, the fact that it generates groups instead of components is an issue... being able to change all the handles or the color of the cabinet bodies with a single click would be preferable.

If you want some ideas! TopMod is a free Killer! My TopMod little page : https://moiscript.weebly.com/topmod.html
(and as you can import OBJ inside ModLumi) But...

Bridge inside Vectary

Bridge inside TopMod and transform !

Render inside the regretted free Alpaca (after the TopMod transform of each segments! )

The cool function of transform each segments!

Will you add DAE collada format for exporting? A format that could keep basic hierarchy?

pilou

Cool we can Drag & Drop files!
In TopMod for ModLumi you must make "Save As" OBJ and not Export OBJ!
Import OBJ from TopMod Inside ModLumi works fine! (faces are triangulated but less than Stl)
soccerball.zip the TopMod obj file!

pilou

From TopMod to Modlumi you can Export STL (no other choise)
STL also ... but faces are more triangulated!
