export mesh faces as clean, resolution-independent SVG paths directly from Blender with intelligent occlusion handling.

• camera-based projection with configurable occlusion detection
• three occlusion algorithms: painters algorithm, BVH raycast, and BSP tree splitting
• supports exporting single or multiple selected mesh objects
• writes optimized SVG path data with customizable styling

Install

1. Download the latest release.
2. In Blender
   • Edit > Preferences > Extensions (or Add-ons) > Install from Disk
   • Pick the downloaded zip and enable “SVG Exporter”.

Use

1. Select one or more Curve objects (Mesh objects are supported and will be converted to curves for export).
2. Go to File > Export > Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg).
3. In the export panel, set the options you need (see below) and pick a file path.
4. Click Export SVG.

Occlusion Techniques

Enhanced Painter's Algorithm (Depth Sort) — Fast depth-based sorting with configurable vertex sampling (center, average, or farthest). Recommended for most use cases due to speed and reliability.

BVH Ray Casting — Uses Blender's BVH tree for ray-based occlusion detection. Experimental approach with adjustable sampling and epsilon tolerance for self-occlusion prevention.

BSP Tree Splitting — Achieves perfect occlusion accuracy by recursively splitting intersecting polygons. Slowest method but produces mathematically correct results with no z-fighting artifacts.

Changelog

• 1.0.0 — Initial release
• 1.1.0 — Complete rewrite, improved occlusion algorithms, and drawsvg integration for better SVG generation
