Now I would like to do things like allow an individual to select a point on a 2D grid to select X and Y values for complex morph targets, allowing procedural mesh editing to be controlled by selecting points on a grid.Īnother thing I can’t figure out is how to let someone specify float curves in the editor for procedural generation or really to express any sort of complex data structure outside of having a very large dialogue box with single floats able to be specified. We tried to make Blender’s UI submit to that simple request for a bit before giving up since it isn’t really possible to set the size of an image.įortunately, the preview layout presents images as large enough to be legible if you’re presenting a complex image, so we settled for using 10 preview images rather than having a slider. In my case, I wanted a big icon with a slider next to it or below it.
Many things are surprisingly difficult to do with Blender’s UI. Hey and can definitely provide more context. Some addons (asset managers, game engines etc) make sense to integrate as an entirely separate Editor. Supposedly custom editors should be a thing but can’t figure that out yet: Have not actually touched it much yet so we’ll see. I see a lot of possibilities to abuse the hell out of the gizmo API. A widget with custom drawing and custom event handling (something that is usually possible in other UI toolkits). I assume what you are after is a custom widget placed in a panel along with other controls such as buttons and text fields? Always wanted a multi-line text widget with optional scroll bar(s).
It’s actually quite amazing how many things the python API leaves out. If you look at the corresponding source you can recreate the C structs via the ctypes module and access many members that the python API does not provide access to. Despite that, the API does have one very handy feature: the as_pointer() method. The current layout engine is very limited, especially via the python API.
