Addon: Gyes (a Blender Multi tool)

#1

Gyes is an effort of me customising blender to my needs . There are two tools inside it right now, RMG (random material generator) and RTG (random texture generator) .

So people have been asking “why i need randomisation when I aim for something specific” , well those two tools allow you to be as specific as you want and yet experiment with new values and settings. Lets face it even if you know exactly what kind of material or texture you want how to get there is not actually straightforward. It requires testing and more testing and then so more testing, which really is just randomization around some specific value ranges till you get it right. This is very time consuming as you need to go by hand through many diffirent parameter. RMG and RTG can achieve the same result in just 1/10th or even 1/1000th of the time it takes to do the same by hand , depending on the amount of parameters needed to change and test, because the randomisation works in an instant .

nice, bryce 3d had such feature, it was always fun to see what kinda textures came up.
If i understand correctly you can randomize all texture and material variables with this app?

#3

no not all. My main goal is not to offer just completely random material , but very focused randomisation and as such decided to leave some material parameters out because other wise my gui would grow huge and complicated, I have left out SSS, mirror and some other things but most of it is included. For textures some types are supported but all of those have their entire parameter set randomised.
