I’m very happy to release my very first addon : the Blender Tchat Addon !
The Blender Tchat Addon enables you to :
Create or Join Tchat Rooms and chat all arround the World
Add friends for direct chat
Share Files with rooms and friends
Share ASSETS from Blender to Blender : You send any asset (Mesh, Material, Texture, Particle System, etc) and the others can directly append them right inside their current scene !
A huge work has been done on BGL side : Overlays, Drag and Scale, Hovering, Scrollbars, Profile Pictures, and much more ! The networking is all HTTPS based.
A lot of new features are being developed but … One day it’s time to release ! So today I try to fix a V-1.0.0 to share it with you…
Don’t hesitate to share, and ENJOY !
The addon is FREE to download
Premium Subscription is available on Gumroad to enable Direct Asset and File Sharing
Nota Bene : Please note that the Tchat Addon is only compatible with 2.83 and higher.
(Last features tested under 2.83.4)
Indeed, since 2.83 there is an issue with Color Management influencing BGL shaders, that I reported here : https://developer.blender.org/T79788
According to devs, the current fix is to hard code the GLSL code for GPU shaders, with a new function blender_srgb_to_framebuffer_space() but it breaks retrocompat with 2.82 and previous.
Once it’s fixed I should be able to deliver a version compatible with all 2.8X versions
For those who have Tchat, could you check if you see my room where I share a model. It’s an organic model, kinda fractal, textured. Let me know how that goes, so I can write about it in my article. The room is called New_Media_Supply and you can access it as shown in next message from developer with this ID: qwppp7df71 . This is the model and you can have it for free:
Hello and thanks for your article on your website !
For now, all rooms are private and therefore knowing the name is no use. People need the ROOM ID to be able to join, as explained in the Documentation. You can copy the ROOM ID with this button :
And share it here. Then people can copy and paste it joining a new room :
Awesome! Pretty handy to see a newsroom as well. Different countries is also interesting.
To support this addon I will upload frequently freebies in the public room called: Free Assets - NMS.
