Blender addon of the EVERTims project

Add the EVERTims GUI panel to Blender tool bar, used to setup EVERTims scenes for real-time auralization during both room design (in edit mode) and exploration (using the blender game engine). See the EVERTims website for further insight on the framework.

Install

See the Installation section of the website.

Architecture

The addon is a wrapper around the evertims python module. The module holds classes to communicate room, listener(s) and source(s) properties (geometry, materials, position, etc.) to the EVERTims ray-tracing client (main program running image sources simulation, see website). The addon allows to use the module for real-time auralization of a Blender scene during its design (edit mode) and exploration (BGE).

addon wrapper files:

├── __init__.py
├── operators.py
└── ui.py

evertims module files:

├── assets
│   ├── evertims-assets.blend (example how to use scene + ready to import assets)
│   ├── scripts
│   │   ├── evertims
│   │   │   ├── __init__.py
│   │   │   └── evertClass.py
│   │   └── run-evertims.py (example how to use bge script)

How to use: Standalone python module

The addon/wrapper can be discarded for BGE only auralization. Copy/paste both assets/evertims-standalone.blend file and assets/scripts folder in a new project folder. Launch the EVERTims client (main program that handles room acoustics simulation), open the evertims-standalone.blend, and run the BGE. Make sure that the network parameters defined in the scripts/run-evertims.py script match the ones defined in the EVERTims client.
