CSV Importer Script Information
 |
| A graph of a physics simulation and an IPO curve in Blender. [Zoom] |
Why did I make and update the script
I made CSV Importer for the purpose of importing accurate data calculated by other software like computer algebra system (CAS) into Blender when I made a 3D video with Blender to show the result of physics simulations more visually than when I used a 2D graph.
After that, I improved it in v0.3 so that I could create line-shaped meshes as well as IPO curves to show the trajectory of the animated objects in Blender.
When the results of the simulations were updated so frequently, it was a pain to make the same setups in the same way in the GUI manually, each time I imported them. So I added AutoMode to automate this repetitive task in v0.5 beta1. AutoMode allows you to write the setups on a .csv file in advance and import it automatically.
Future works
| + display the status of importing with a progress bar. |
| + convert euler angles, quaternions and a coordinate transform matrix into values of RotX, RotY and RotZ of Blender. |
| + allow to specify Ipo or Mesh names when specifying an Object in AutoMode. |
| + allow to specify key names in Material Ipo, Camera Ipo and so on when specifying a key type in AutoMode. |
| + enable to make detailed setups in HandleMode as well as in AutoMode. |
| + prepend setups to the CSV file in HandleMode. |
Change logs
| v0.5 beta3 (2010/06/07) |
| + fixed the bug in which it doesn't import a .csv file with detailed timeline. (Thank you for reporting, okchoir) |
| v0.5 beta2 (2007/08/03) |
| + added New=Ipo, Object to detail setup items of AutoMode. |
| + fixed lots of bug after final test. |
| + can print out setups in HandleMode. |
| v0.5 beta1 (2007/07/24) |
| + can write setups for both IPO curves and meshes into a CSV file and import it automatically. |
| + can write detailed setups for both IPO curves and meshes into a CSV file (AutoMode only). |
| v0.4 beta (2007/07/02) |
| + improved GUI for better usability. |
| + added buttons, Reset, SaveLogs in GUI. |
| + improved the contents of logs. |
| v0.3 beta (2006/11/24) |
| + can import data from a CSV file and create meshes (AutoMode unsupported). |
| v0.2 beta (2006/10/13) |
| + can print out logs for debug (suggestion of Manda). |
| v0.1 beta (2006/10/09) |
| + can write setups into a CSV file and import it automatically (experimental). |
| v0.0 beta (2006/10/07) |
| + first edition. |
| + can use GUI for setup. |
| + can save setups to Registry in Blender. |
| + can import data from a CSV file and create IPO curves. |
