anchorscad-bullet

This library provides tools to convert anchorscad and pythonopenscad models into pybullet objects for physics simulation.

Modules

render_bullet.py

This module is the core converter. It takes models from anchorscad or pythonopenscad and converts them into a format that can be used with pybullet.

Key conversion functions in the APModel class:

• from_manifold: Converts a manifold3d.Manifold object.
• from_posc_model: Converts a pythonopenscad.PoscBase object.
• from_anchorscad_shape: Converts an anchorscad.Shape instance.
• from_anchorscad_shape_class: Converts an anchorscad.Shape class by using one of its examples.

pybullet_viewer.py

This module provides a simple viewer to display and simulate the converted models using pybullet. It can be run as a script to view specific models.

Usage

You can run the viewer from the command line to display a model from a specific module.

python -m anchorscad_bullet.pybullet_viewer --module <module_name> --shape <shape_class_name> [options]

Arguments:

• --module: The Python module containing the anchorscad shape (e.g., anchorscad.examples.basic_models).
• --shape: The name of the Shape class to render.
• --example: The name of the example to use for the shape class (default: default).
• --part: The name of the part to render.
• --material: The name of the material to render.
• --physical: Whether to render the physical or non-physical version of the part.
