[Addon] Image Resizer (requires pil!)

erdinc · July 12, 2016, 1:55am

An image resizer addon for blender. Easily resize and save your images from blender.

It needs the Pillow(PIL) python module!

How to install Pillow to Blender?

Known Issues:
For now, this add on can not save 16 bit images. (pil does not support saving 16 bit images.)

Hi erdinc , very good job here, thanks for sharing your usefull job.

you must correct this, please:
$ sudo pip install -U pillow

to install with ‘root’ user privileges!

I will try just now…Thk and Congratulations :eyebrowlift:

erdinc · July 12, 2016, 6:14am

Oh, ok. I corrected it Thanks @Spirou4D .

Spirou4D · July 12, 2016, 6:30am

erdinc, yu’re welcome!

I have installed Pillow for my python 2.75 on Linux Mint Rosa 64bytes but your script don’t see the pill module.

How copy it in my module folder of <Homer>/.config/blender/2.77/scripts/modules for my Blender 2.77a?

EDIT: I have copied the PIL folder (from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ ) in my <home>/.config/blender/script/module folder but no found by your script.

For example in my distro, my system python’s site-package directory path is
/usr/lib64/python3.5/site-packages/
in it there is a PIL directory.
(/usr/lib64/python3.5/site-packages/PIL)
just copy it, or make a symlink to your
~/.config/blender/script/modules directory

to make a symlink from terminal (your paths may be different)

ln -s /usr/lib64/python3.5/site-packages/PIL ~/.config/blender/2.77/scripts/modules/

erdinc · July 12, 2016, 7:00am

By the way your python version should be 3.5 if you re using Blender 2.77a .
A virtualenv python 3.5 installation would work too, It does not need to be system’s python.
I ll try to install the pip directly to the python which ships with blender. It may be more easier.

Spirou4D · July 12, 2016, 7:03am

in my usr/lib/ (for 64bytes off’course) there are python2.6, python2.7, python3, python2.4, python3.5
the official version is python2.7
in his dist-package, i have PIL + PILcompat + Pillow-2.3.0.egg-info
I have placed all in my
~Home/.config/blender/script/module BUT no change!

in python3, there are a dist-package with the same file
PIL + Pillow-2.3.0.egg-info
I placed in the same config folder BUT no change!

Above 3.0=> python3.4 and python3.5 have not a dist-packages folder (?)
Their dist-packages must be elsewhere but where???

But for Linux Mint Rosa 17.3, there are already Python-PIL installed (Fork of PIL) :
a http://storage9.static.itmages.com/i/16/0712/h_1468332636_2131391_84c5723f6b.jpeg

Can I modify the call of PILL in your script, please?

Spirou4D · July 12, 2016, 7:29am

I try with a terminal to see if PIL is installed on my system:
$ python
$>>>import PIL
no problem!

Spirou4D · July 12, 2016, 7:40am

Erdinc, I have found a error here:


def unregister():
    del bpy.types.Scene.ImageResizer
    bpy.utils.unregister_module(__name__)
    del bpy.types.Scene.ImageResizer

Two time the " del bpy.types.Scene.ImageResizer"
An oversight may be…

============================================
Solutions:
I made as you said to create a link but no change with my blender.
I found this:
VERSION = ‘1.1.7’ # PIL version
PILLOW_VERSION = ‘2.3.0’ # Pillow
in Dist-packages of Python3

But in Blender console:
PYTHON INTERACTIVE CONSOLE 3.5.0 (default, Sep 17 2015, 00:00:00) [GCC 4.8.4]

>>> from PIL import Image
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<blender_console>”, line 1, in <module>
File “/home/patrinux/.config/blender/2.77/scripts/modules/PIL/Image.py”, line 53, in <module>
from PIL import _imaging as core
ImportError: cannot import name ‘_imaging’

I HAVE FOUND THAT BLENDER load good PIL but something is missing for PIL to work in line 52 of the fist file image.py of PIL:
“from PIL import _imaging as core”

erdinc · July 12, 2016, 8:11am

Of course, you can do whatever you want with it

Also, thanks again i deleted the duplicated line.

Could you try again to put python 3 version of PIL directory to
~/.config/blender/scripts/modules ( script"s" , module"s" )

I will put an option to addon preferences to select PIL path hopefully soon.

erdinc · July 12, 2016, 8:21am

– update

i believe there is a version mismatch.

could you run this code in your system python 3.5

import site; site.getsitepackages()

or this one

import distutils.sysconfig; print(distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib())

this should print the dist-packages or site-packages directories of python 3.5
and if there is PIL dir in one them copying that may work.

Spirou4D · July 12, 2016, 8:33am

no no it’s good my uri is /home/patrinux/.config/blender/2.77/scripts/modules
I have made a link of PIL of Python3 but no change with Blender.

I have understood, it’s because PIL is compiled for python3 and not python 3.5:
When the image.py search this :
“from PIL import _imaging as core”
it’s in _imaging.cpython-34m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so, file compiled with python3 on my system and not with python3.5.

may be???

erdinc · July 12, 2016, 8:42am

Yes exactly you need python 3.5 version of PIL . We need to find your python 3.5 dist-packages dir. Then copy from there.

Spirou4D · July 12, 2016, 8:50am

Yes absolutely! But where is it?

I try to install python3.5 completed (with Dev)

Solution 1
[’/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages’, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages’]

Solution 2
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

My python version is:
Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2

erdinc · July 12, 2016, 9:16am

You should run them with python3.5
is python 3.5 installed in your system ?

call python from terminal with “python3.5” command
than execute the codes again please.

Spirou4D · July 12, 2016, 9:39am

WARNING: Here is in OS Terminal:
Solution 1
[’/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages’, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages’]

Solution 2
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

My python version is python2.75

Spirou4D · July 12, 2016, 9:58am

So erdinc, we move forward…I found the answer:
I type in Blender console your python question and here is the answer:
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages and there are PIL there: 1.17 version!

Why your script or Blender don’t use PIL normally??? All is OK!
