Installation

1. Download the TriAxis Modeler addon from your purchase
2. Open Blender (4.5.0 or newer required)
3. Go to Edit → Preferences → Add-ons
4. Click "Install..." button
5. Select the downloaded .zip file
6. Enable the addon by checking the box next to "TriAxis Modeler"
7. Find the panel in 3D Viewport → Sidebar (N key) → "TriAxis Modeler" tab

Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Initialize the System

• Click "Initialize Projection System" in the Setup panel
• Three planes will appear: (Front), (Side), (Top)

Step 2: Edit Your Silhouettes

• Click "FRONT VIEW", "SIDE VIEW", or "TOP VIEW" buttons
• Draw your 2D shapes using Blender's standard edit tools:
  • Extrude (E) to add geometry
  • Inset (I) for internal shapes
  • Knife (K) to cut new edges
  • Loop Cut (Ctrl+R) for subdivisions

Step 3: Generate Your Model

Choose your generation method:

• "GENERATE HIGH-POLY" - Creates smooth, detailed meshes with voxel remeshing
• "GENERATE LOW-POLY" - Preserves clean topology for game assets

Step 4: Refine (Optional)

• Use "Clear Edges" if unwanted edges occur
• Adjust Voxel Size for different detail levels
• Enable Auto Cleanup to remove intermediate objects

Settings Explained

Plane Size: Controls the size of projection planes (1.0 - 20.0) Extrusion Depth: How far silhouettes project into 3D space (0.1 - 20.0) Voxel Size: Mesh resolution for high-poly mode (0.001 - 1.0, set to 0 to skip) Auto Cleanup: Automatically removes intermediate projection volumes

Tips for Best Results

• Start simple - Begin with basic shapes, add detail gradually
• Overlap is key - Ensure your silhouettes overlap at the center for proper intersection
• Use references - Import orthogonal reference images as background
• Plan your shapes - Sketch on paper first to visualize the intersection
• Test frequently - Generate models early and often to check progress
