Extensions in this repo

No3d Asset Developer

Turns marked assets into clean, individually-packaged .blend files with metadata, thumbnails, and dev notes — for maintaining a distributable asset library. Git Assets and Send Nodes are developed here as separable dogfood modules before their tentative independent public distribution.

Location once installed: Asset Browser → Context Menu and 3D Viewport → N-Panel → No3D Dev.

Transparent Media

Open 3D Viewport → N-Panel → No3D Dev → Transparent Media. The two scene buttons render a transparent PNG master sequence with the current camera, engine, resolution, frame range, and FPS, then create either:

• a transparent ProRes 4444 .mov; or
• a looping transparent .gif.

The same panel converts an existing numbered PNG sequence. Leaving its Folder field empty uses the scene's current Output folder. Output names and locations are inferred, and the rendered PNG sequence remains available as the reusable master. GIF has one-bit transparency; use the MOV when soft alpha edges matter.

Conversion requires the ffmpeg executable. Common Homebrew and shell paths are detected automatically; an override is available in the extension's preferences.

Image planes

Both Add → Image → Mesh Plane and Shift+5 open Blender's native image plane importer with the NO3D clipboard-plane material template preloaded: Shadeless, alpha enabled, Blended transparency, Closest interpolation, and Repeat extension. The native file browser and placement workflow remain unchanged. Cmd+Shift+V continues to paste the clipboard directly as a plane using the same template.

Power Panel

Power Panel organizes and navigates the 3D View sidebar without depending on CleanPanels. It routes local tools into intent-based categories, keeps native Blender tabs first, adds stable numbered bookmarks, and provides two fast navigation paths:

• F5 enters live tab-filter input in the Tool Settings field.
• Option+Tab opens Blender's native Power Panel pie; choose by gesture/click or press its displayed native number while it is open.

Slot destinations are editable in No3d Asset Developer preferences. Defaults work immediately, and Power Panel does not reserve global modifier-number shortcuts. Its implementation is the internal power_panel/ subpackage.

Agent Bridge

Registers each live Blender by .blend filename and lets agents select the correct instance without manually managing ports. Its canonical source remains github.com/node-dojo/agent-bridge; the Blender extension is vendored here for one managed development/install surface. Agent Bridge supersedes and retires the former Claude Pair workflow.

Source projection: extensions/agent_bridge/.

Send Nodes

Shares Blender-native node-group bundles by URL. Its canonical public source remains github.com/node-dojo/Send-Nodes; the extension is vendored here and dogfooded alongside Asset Developer.

Source projection: extensions/send_nodes/.

No3d Save & Reload

Saves the current file as its next numbered iteration, quits Blender, and reopens that iteration in the same Blender application.

Source: extensions/no3d_save_reload/.

Development

Each extension is a self-contained subdirectory under extensions/. Repo-wide tooling lives at the outer root:

• tools/check_register.sh — headless register/unregister gate; iterates every extension. Must print REGISTER_OK after any registration-touching change.
• tools/build_all.sh — headless extension build per extension into dist/.
• tools/publish_repo.sh — builds all extensions, aggregates zips, generates the static repo index.json, force-pushes to gh-pages.

For contributor / AI-agent onboarding, read AGENTS.md at the repo root before touching code. It carries the non-negotiables, Blender quirks, and the cross-extension conventions (classname prefixes, bpy.ops-only for cross-extension calls, no Python imports across extensions).
