@spudlab cheers, Joe! That sounds lovely!

Taking a hint from your profile, you might have fun trying the #trimesh library, I've used it to export #STL from #Python and it is a smash!

This made me smile today:
#raylib #pyray maintainers (electronstudio.github.io/rayli) want people working on documentation and examples, this is how it is done:
github.com/electronstudio/rayl

I'm looking at you #trimesh maintainers.

Updated: Sharing today a new version of my #Thonny portable (the beginner friendly #Python IDE) with #py5 #shapely #trimesh and #pymunk pre-installed. This "re-packaged distribution" makes it easier for my students to have a #CreativeCoding environment on Windows, and is specially useful for school labs with installation constraints...

Please help me test it!
github.com/villares/thonny-por
Some code: abav.lugaralgum.com/como-insta

I'd like help to build and sign a MacOS "equivalent" and maybe make a Linux AppImage, I'm not sure if AppImage will work as it would need to let people install further libraries. DM of you'd like to help!

I like #Python's #trimesh lib but I find the documentation very lacking in examples, and the maintainer seems not to be interested in getting more people working on it :(

trimesh.org/examples.html
For instance, we could have an illustrated example (a Jupyter notebook) for each o the creation methods in trimesh.org/trimesh.creation.h
Or for other sub-packages like trimesh.org/trimesh.path.html

I'm struggling to create Path2D and Path3D objects from scratch.
Evidence of the lack of examples that makes the library less than approachable: github.com/mikedh/trimesh/issu

Hi #py5 friends, can you help me test this #trimesh integration on Windows?
github.com/py5coding/py5genera

UPDATE: Solved with the latest versions of py5, trimesh etc. So I updated my "portable Thonny + py5 package for Windows" github.com/villares/thonny-por

Are there more #Python #trimesh users here? Do you think this request I made (github.com/mikedh/trimesh/issu) reasonable? Do you have more trimesh teaching/documentation resources? Can you chime in at the issue?

Still a bit trial and error... but an improvement! Code at: github.com/villares/sketch-a-d

I really need your support to keep going, if you can, donate any amount at: paypal.com/donate/?hosted_butt #Processing #Python #py5 #CreativeCoding #trimesh

Thank you @cholling@bytes.programming.dev @cholling@social.sdf.org for the great post about geodesic dome calculations :)

@hx2A has implemented the hidden line / Hidden-surface thing and one day it will be a part of #py5 @py5coding :D

There are already cool integrations between py5 and #trimesh which made me search for icosahedron, and it is kind of nice to know there is one there too: trimesh.org/trimesh.creation.h

For me, the most waited and exciting presentation at #PyConUS24 was Jim's (@hx2A) talk: #CreativeCoding with #py5 (@py5coding), the #Python version of #Processing

If you missed it, you can watch it now! youtube.com/watch?v=pNVn3FPi5P

I'm so glad I was able to be there! We had a nice "creative coding open space" the next day. I wish @ericof and @TomLarrow could have been there too. #numpy #shapely #trimesh #matplotlib #opencv

Galera, como muitos lugares em que eu dou aula usam Windows, eu andei montando um pacotinho "portátil" usando o #ThonnyIDE portable, que já vem com #Python 3.10, e acrescentei a biblioteca de desenho que eu uso, #py5 e mais umas coisinhas como #shapely, #trimesh e #pymunk... se alguem quiser testar, atualizei hoje algumas coisas:

github.com/villares/thonny-por

Thonny e py5 rodam no MacOS e no GNU/Linux também. Pra quem quiser saber mais sobre o py5 (e essa dobradinha com o Thonny IDE) veja esta páginai: abav.lugaralgum.com/como-insta (nessa página está um link para uma versão anterior do portable para Windows que pretendo trocar por essa que está em testes). #ProgramaçãoCriativa #Python #Processing
