# Create 3D Icon

This is a small cli tool to generate 3D icons using Blender.

> I use this side project to learn Blender with Python.

## Examples

```bash
python create.py examples/LogosGithubIcon.svg
```

|                         from                         |                           to                            |

```bash
python create.py --light-x 1 --light-strength 2 examples/LogosBlender.svg
```

|                      from                      |                          to                          |

```

|                     from                     |                         to                          |

> Icons are from [SVG Logos](https://github.com/gilbarbara/logos) (CC0)

## Install

I use poetry to manage dependencies.

```bash
poetry env use 3.10
poetry install
```

You may need to install [Blender](https://www.blender.org/download/) and add it to your path.

### Docker

There is a pre-built docker image (for `arm64` and `amd64`) available on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/jacoblincool/create-3d-icon).

```bash
docker run --rm -p 7680:7680 jacoblincool/create-3d-icon
```
