blendertk 0.5.21

A toolkit for Blender mirroring the mayatk public API, backing the tentacle Blender slots.

blendertk

Blender 4.x+ utilities backing the tentacle Blender slots — the Blender counterpart to mayatk.

blendertk mirrors mayatk's public API surface (btk.X ↔ mtk.X) at the name + behavior level, so the shared tentacle slot/UI layer stays branch-free across DCCs. It is a thin adapter over Blender's native bpy / bmesh operators plus a small set of genuine helpers — not a reimplementation of mayatk.

Status

Active mayatk-parity port. The structure map (subpackage/class correspondence with mayatk, including what's intentionally absent) is STRUCTURE.md; the measured gap and port-this-next recipes live in the tentacle repo (docs/PARITY_AUDIT.md, docs/PARITY_PORTING_PLAN.md, docs/PARITY_SURFACE.md).

Requirements

• Blender 4.x+ (developed against 5.1 / Python 3.13)
• pythontk

bpy is provided by the Blender runtime.

More

• data_nodes.md — shared scene-data carriers (data_internal / data_export) and how their metadata rides into the FBX (mirror of mayatk's system)
• CHANGELOG.md — notable changes
• CLAUDE.md — contributor / agent conventions, test harness, hard rules
