# Install Geomdl
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the simplest case, you can install Geomdl by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ /path/to/blender/2.xx/python/bin/python3.7m -m pip install -U geomdl
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
but this way you will get pure-python library, which is very slow. If you want
|
|
|
|
it fast, then you have to install Cython (see previous paragraph for
|
|
|
|
instruction). After you installed Cython, you can install "cythonized" geomdl
|
|
|
|
as it is described in [Geomdl instruction][9]:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ /path/to/blender/2.xx/python/bin/python3 -m pip install geomdl --install-option="--use-cython"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
To get geomdl to compile
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After you install Cython via pip...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install the same version of Python that your install of Blender uses from [python.org][18]
|
|
|
|
* Blender 2.9 == [Python 3.7][19]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will give you the /includes and /libs. Make sure on the Advanced screen of the installer you choose 'Precompile standard library' and
|
|
|
|
'Download debugging symbols'
|
|
|
|
After install is complete, open up a Command Prompt (not Powershell). You will be making symbolic links from the /libs and /include from the python installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* For the ```/libs``` directory
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
mklink /D "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.90\2.90\python\libs" "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\libs"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* For the ```/include``` directory
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
mklink /D "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.90\2.90\python\include" "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\include"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should now be able to install geomdl with ```--use-cython``` arguments
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following nodes become available only when you install Geomdl:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Approximate NURBS Curve
|
|
|
|
* Approximate NURBS Surface
|
|
|
|
* Interpolate NURBS Surface
|
|
|
|
* Quads to NURBS
|
|
|
|
* NURBS to JSON
|
|
|
|
* JSON to NURBS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following nodes can optionally use Geomdl:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Build NURBS Curve
|
|
|
|
* Build NURBS Surface
|
|
|
|
* Interpolating Surface
|
|
|
|
* Interpolate NURBS Curve
|
|
|
|
* NURBS In
