I’ve given your addon a try, and it’s honestly amazing! The features are really intuitive and handy. Everything was running smoothly until I tried exporting a vector file and realized my system memory was completely maxed out.
After some digging, I found out the issue is with the textures. When exporting, each face is assigned its own texture fragment, which puts a huge load on the memory. It’s not really noticeable with low-poly models, but for more complex ones, it definitely causes some lag or errors.
If you could tweak it so that it exports one single large texture sheet per page instead, I think that would solve the problem perfectly! Thank you so much!
It's a good starting point, but in my opinion this add-on needs some improvements:
For symmetrical meshes, I would like to use the Mirror Modifier to transfer the cuts from one side to the other. Alternatively, it would be great if you could add a "mirror" option to show the symmetrical selection while using this add-on.
The Undo and Redo shortcuts don't work at all when I use the add-on's tools. Why? It's a waste of time to open the pie menu every time I want to undo or redo something.
I would say these are the areas to start with when adding improvements, and then maybe new features could be introduced in the future.
Thanks so much, so far the addon i was looking for to replace Pepakura !
Hello I tried to use this add-on but the pdf is corrupted and the svg doesn’t download, do you have any idea why this might be happening?
it is really nice addon, but i have some notes, that normal offset thing makes a bit harder to read whats going on, for example, i try to select and edge but the region and cutted edges are in front of actual edges, and its harder to see them, for me we should use mark seams for cutting edges rather than a line in front of actual edges. it would be easier to read since we already used to it from blender. a mark for areas that needs to be glued would be nice (if we dont have texture, it is kinda hard to tell which area needs to be glued) also would be nice an setting for enable or disable that. A feature that would highlight the selected face in 2D space and 3D space would be nice rather than only highlight selected island sometimes its hard to tell which face goes where. i have high hopes for this addon, please keep update it we will support you no matter what
I'm getting a lot of Py errors on blender 4.5 doesn't work if the 3d model is at the scale you will be printing it (10cm). it's too small. you have to scale up your model (x10) and then scale down to print. That's a lot of hassle. It has a lot of potential, but it's too buggy right now :(
Hello! I've been using Export Paper Model for pepakura blueprints. Your add-on has been filling out a lot of what I wished was available to me while working with the latter. I do however find it difficult to navigate the Zamboni interface, and would prefer seeing the Edges while defining regions, which has also been a problem when I can't (or don't know how to) hotkey the command. Your work looks very promising for low-poly and small projs, but after working with it, there's room to fill to cater larger meshes such as one I'm working on.
One key difference from Export Paper Model was the lack of notice about 'twisted polygons': faces that would curve if it were on paper. I haven't ever printed my works yet but that might be a concern, yes?
Everything aside, your work is great! High hopes for this passion project of yours
This is the case where the origin is optional, but there is a small problem, it is not a continuous problem, and the image 1, 5, 7, 8, 9... is jumping.
