This plugin is young and has just limited functionality. Contributions are welcome.\n\n\n\n\n\n![img.png](https://github.com/haesleinhuepf/napari-blender-bridge/raw/main/docs/easter.gif)\n\n\n\n## Usage\n\n\n\nThis plugin has its own submenu with all functionality under `Tools > Blender`. You can start up Blender, send a surface layer to Blender, retrieve all meshes back as one surface layer and shut down Blender.\n\n\n\n## Installation instructions\n\n\n\n* Download and install [Blender 3.5](https://www.blender.org/download/). \n\n* Start Blender and click the menu `Edit > Preferences`. Activate `Developer extras`.\n\n\n\n![img.png](https://github.com/haesleinhuepf/napari-blender-bridge/raw/main/docs/blender_preferences.png)\n\n\n\n* It is recommended to run this plugin in a conda environment together with [devbio-napari](https://github.com/haesleinhuepf/devbio-napari), \n\n[vedo](https://vedo.embl.es/) and [napari-process-points-and-surfaces](https://github.com/haesleinhuepf/napari-process-points-and-surfaces).\n\nTo install these, please run these commands line-by-line:\n\n```\n\nmamba create --name napari-blender-env python=3.9 devbio-napari vedo -c conda-forge\n\nmamba activate napari-blender-env\n\npip install napari-process-points-and-surfaces napari-blender-bridge\n\n```\n\n\n\n## Similar and related plugins\n\n\n\nThere are other plugins for working with surface meshes:\n\n* [napari-stress](https://github.com/campaslab/napari-stress)\n\n* [napari-pymeshlab](https://github.com/zacsimile/napari-pymeshlab)\n\n* [napari-process-points-and-surfaces](https://github.com/haesleinhuepf/napari-process-points-and-surfaces)\n\n\n\n## Contributing\n\n\n\nContributions are very welcome.
