OpenXtract is a Blender add-on that allows to extract the object of interest by applying partition algorithms. Furthermore, one can also use the PointNet++ semantic segmentation. A short demonstration can be seen on YouTube, and a quickstart video is also available.
We offer OpenXtract in combination with Blender, where one only must download the program to try OpenXtract. After the download, makse sure that OpenXtract is enabled as add-on. Click on Edit->Preferences, Add-Ons and search for OpenXtract. Activate the checkbox if it is disabled.
- Blender 2.93 with OpenXtract with PyTorch and Cuda: Cuda 11 capable graphics card required.
- Blender 2.93 with OpenXtract without PyTorch: Does not require any specfic hardware.
- Blender 2.93 with OpenXtract without PyTorch: Does not require any specfic hardware.
- Coming Soon.
- Install miniconda and create an environment with a python version that matches your blender python interpreter.
- Install the dependencies with pip:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Optional: Install PyTorch to enable the semantic segmentation functionality. Thanks to yanx27 et al. for creating and maintaining the PointNet++ repository
- Compile the partition algorithms in https://github.com/mati3230/3DPartitionAlgorithms and copy the resulting dynamic libraries into this project.
- Zip this folder (not only the contents).
- Import the add-on in blender by importing the zip file.
