📕INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the official CY-Tools Documentation.

As a 3D artist working in the domain for more than a decade, I decided to start making tools for speeding up certain processes of mine that were repetitive or a bit tedious and wanted to share those tools with the Blender community. Some add-ons out there are doing similar things, some with extreme complexity. I personally set out to create a minimal, user-friendly set of tools that are affordable and to the point. You can find information about all the current tools under the suite, including:

• INSTAFOG Create cloud-like fog in one click - Instantly adds a cube in your scene with a Principled Volume configured to appear like a cloud under both EVEE and Cycles renderer.

• LIGHTGEN Generate random lighting scenarios - Instantly generates Point Lights in the scene to achieve different lighting scenarios.

• CUBEGEN Generate random cubes - Instantly places cubes in the scene with random positions and scales.

• WIGGLER Make it shake - Instantly add a rotational wiggling noise modifier to any object, and control the strength and scale to achieve different intensities and speeds.

• COLORIZER Randomize object colors - Instantly randomize the base color of objects, lights, and volumes.

• VIEWPOINTS Renders all the selected cameras at once.

• CYGPT *New* A new experimental toolkit seamlessly integrating AI functionalities within your Blender workspace to elevate your creativity and efficiency to new heights! Requires OpenAI API Key or Ollama

• CELL GROWTH *New* Simulate organic growth patterns - CellGrowth leverages differential growth algorithms to create organic and natural growth patterns in your mesh objects.

• SMART IMPORTER *New* A simple addon designed to streamline the file import process. Instead of manually selecting the file format before importing, simply click "Import Any File..." and let the addon intelligently detect and import the file.

1. Installation

1. Downloaded the latest zip through the Blender Market page. https://blendermarket.com/products/cytools

3. Locate and select the downloaded Python script file and click Install Add-on

4. In the Add-ons tab, search for "CY-Tools Suite" in the search bar. Check the checkbox next to the addon's name to enable it. (If you don't want to install the full suite, you can also extract the zip and install individual addons by simply installing the __init__.py under each folder.)
