Hello, fellow Swappers!
For a very long time we've wanted to offer you a Blender Addon to upload to Blend Swap, a plugin that would prepare your blends for swapping, it would check your file for relative paths, packing textures, render a couple views and ask for the blend's meta data (name, description, categories, etc.).
The main obstacle with this is that I, being the only developer on Blend Swap, don't have all the time I'd like to dedicate to this task. That's why I'm calling all Blender Python coders on the site (and anywhere else also) to join us in this epic quest for Blender integration.
I have created an Open Source (GPL3) GitHub Project which you can fork and do pull requests to. You can also edit the project's wiki so we can start to coordinate.
The main goal of the project is developing an integration interface between Blend Swap and Blender by adding new features little by little.
I'd like to do this in stages:
When this is done then we can think about adding some more features, like an in-Blender model browser, downloads, and so on. You can read more in the Development Roadmap I have outlined in the project's wiki.
If you're interested in helping us with this project please follow the repo and comment on issues and cards. I'd like to have this thing very well planned before proceeding with actual development.
I hope you can join us to make Blend Swap even cooler!
Cheers!
