Python-xNormal Description

Python-xNormal is a Python wrapper for the program xNormal that allows for easy scripting and automation.Basic UsageThe below generates a normal map and ambient occlusion map for the piano meshes.```pythonimport xNormalxNormal.run("piano_high.obj", "piano_low.obj", "piano.png", width=256, height=256, gen_normals = True, gen_ao = True)```Extended Usage 1The belows shows some more features.First the path is set. By default the wrapper assumes xNormal.exe is in the PATH variable.Seconly it generates a normal map with a switch coordinate system and an ao map with fewer rays and jitter. Finally is generates a convexity map.For a full list of options have a look in the source code where they are listed and easy to see.Finally it stores the errorcode of xNormal in case of something being wrong.```pythonimport xNormalxNormal.path = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Santiago Orgaz\\xNormal 3.17.13\\x64\\xNormal.exe"err = xNormal.run("piano_high.obj", "piano_low.obj", "piano.png", width = 256, height = 256, gen_normals = True, normals_x = "+X", normals_y = "-Z", normals_z = "+Y", gen_ao = True, ao_rays = 64, ao_jitter = True, gen_convexity = True, convexity_scale = 0.75)```Extended Usage 2Scripting xNormal goes via the form of supplying it with a configuration file. These can be generated and saved for later use.To build a configuration file __xNormal.config__ it must be supplied with a list of high mesh options, a list of low mesh options and a list of generation options.```pythonimport xNormalhigh_config = xNormal.high_mesh_options("piano_high.obj", scale = 2.0)low_config = xNormal.low_mesh_options("piano_low.obj", scale = 2.0)generation_config = xNormal.generation_options("piano.png", gen_normals = True)config = xNormal.config(, , generation_config)f = open("later.xml", 'w')f.write(config)f.close()Product's homepage
