Rodin add-on for Blender
Introduction
The Rodin add-on for Blender is a powerful integration tool that supports most of the functions available on Rodin's webpage, allowing users to access image-based generation capabilities directly within the Blender environment. It enables users to replace target images, adjust generation settings, utilize ControlNet with selected objects, and choose between automatic and manual generation modes—all while maintaining a seamless workflow between Blender and the Rodin web interface through the convenient floating window functionality.
Overview
The Rodin add-on for Blender integrates Rodin's powerful AI-based 3D generation capabilities directly into your Blender workflow. This integration consists of two main components:
Installation
Requirements
Blender>=4.0 Google Chrome>=116
Step-by-step Instruction
On the Rodin frontpage, hover your mouse over the 'Add-On' icon. When the window appears, click 'Install' to download the add-on ZIP file.
In Blender, navigate to Edit → Preferences.
Click the 'Add-ons' button, then click the arrow icon in the top-right corner, then select 'Install from Disk' and select the downloaded ZIP file to install.
Enable RodinBridge by clicking its checkbox.
Rodin functions are accessible through the 'Rodin' button in the 3D viewport panel.
Basic Usage
The Rodin add-on integrates most Rodin's generation functions directly in Blender. Operation requires interaction in both Blender and the Rodin webpage.
Single Image Generation
The Rodin webpage will automatically appear if not already open. On the Rodin webpage, activate the floating window using the toggle switch.
You can monitor the generation process in the floating window. The generated asset will be automatically imported into blender.
You can also import featured assets or generated assets by hovering on the target asset and press the emerged 'Export' button
Advanced Functions
ControlNet:
To enable ControlNet, select an object in Blender and choose your desired ControlNet mode. You can then adjust ControlNet settings as needed. (identical to Rodin webpage settings)
Multiview Mode:
You can use 'Load Image' to add more images as the input for generation. Rodin will automatically process them as the input for multiview generation.
Generation Mode:
You can choose between One Click mode and Manual mode.
One Click: Process runs without step-by-step guidance.
Manual: Requires step-by-step operation in the floating window. The process is identical to that on Rodin webpage.
