Restart required to load custom shapes #7

Open RWOverdijk opened 8 months ago

RWOverdijk commented 8 months ago

It took me a bit to figure out how to make my own custom shapes. I found out that I need to reload blender to see my new shapes.

Maybe an option to reload shapes would be nice?

Also I notice that my custom shapes are grey in the thumbnail, and not green or another color. I copied one of the existing shapes so I am not sure why that is.

I am having fun with this addon, it's great :)

Hi, I will think of a way to make an option to reload the shapes As for the Shape Color, it works by setting viewport shading color to single and color that you want (Green in this case)

Maybe i will try to streamline the widget making process

Oh right! Stupid that I didn't see that, thanks.

As for the process, it's actually not a bad process. I suppose a blend file with rules (1x1, at world origin) that then creates the preview for you would be cool. But I also like that you can do whatever for your thumbnail. Also, the category being based on directory, that's nice, wouldn't change that either 😄

I'm having a lot of fun, and the reload button in my PR helps speed things up. I added a target and a simple line. Target is good for damped track target.

Maybe for a future PR it would be nice to allow configuring a path to custom shapes (additional) so you can update the addon without losing your custom shapes?
