In the example I used the positive Z axis (0, 1, 0). Note the principal axis which is the up direction of your Y shape, which will be used for alignement to the surface. MyRecipe/myRecipe_Setup/myRecipe_compartments_recipes/compartment1_recipe/compartment1_surface Make all the spheres child of the ingredient2 object (drag and drop) Rename the Null empty object to ingredient2 Note: You can hide other object that are on the way. To duplicate you can use Shift-D or Object->Duplicate. There is a keyboard shortcut you can use : Ctrl+TĪ more complex ingredient can be made up of several spheres.ĭuplicate the spheres 6 times, and place the sphere so the overall shape look like in the figure (Y shape). Then select the target object, and click on the menu Mesh->Faces->Triangulate faces. In Blender you can triangulate a polygonal object by switching to the Edit Mode. If you are working with Quad geometry, you need to triangulate them before they can be used in autoPACK. Note: For a geometry to be used as a compartments in autoPACK, it has to be a triangulated mesh. Again, this will only work if the object are triangulated meshes. You can now click on SetupCompartments in the plugin window. Select both object in the scene outliner, drag them under the object called myRecipe_compartments_geometries. Note: When renaming an object to be used by autoPACK, use regular character and avoid space. In the scene outliner, double click on Icospphere, and rename to compartment2. In the Add Ico Sphere panel (below the create panel) In the object attribute (right bottom), change
BLENDER C4D MANUAL
We recommend user to check the blender reference manual and the getting started section : Start autoPACK, go to Help->Check for stable Update. Start ePMV, go to Help->Check for stable Update. Restart Blender, ePMV and autoPACK should appear on the top right of the window.

BLENDER C4D MAC OS
Mac OS 64bits Blender 2.7x upy-Blender-mac-64.zip And Cinema 4D has support for the most popular third-party addons in this industry whether it be for rendering, modeling, populating sense, adding materials, adding plants and vegetation, and more.Ĭompared to Blender, Cinema 4D has been popular in this field for a long time, but Blender has grown a lot in the last decade which makes it a fierce competitor in Archviz because a lot of people even professionals are starting to integrate it in their workflow.- uPy Plugin Package with ePMV & autoPack
BLENDER C4D SOFTWARE
One of the great things about Cinema 4D is its simplicity, and since Architects and designers are not the most artistic people, this software makes sense to them, especially, if they are not familiar with complex 3D packages. Like Blender, Cinema 4D is Great for modeling and adding materials, lighting, and rendering your interior or exterior scenes. To be honest, this is one of the few areas where it excels.

On the other hand, Cinema 4D is also a great 3D package for Architectural visualization.
