Cherry profile models
Hi there!
I downloaded and started playing around with KLE-for-Blender yesterday and noticed the lack of support for Cherry profile keycaps. I went looking around and there appears to be a repo (Kieeboard) with .STLs of the Cherry profile keycaps based off a Cherry datasheet. I could import the keys one by one to Blender but that would be horribly inefficient to do compared to the nice import workflow in KLE-for-Blender.
If anything, I'm new to Blender but I'm pretty familiar with Python myself. It would be great if KLE-for-Blender is extended to support Cherry profile (and if I have time I might even take it on or help out where possible).
Edit: previewed some of the .STL files and something looks off about them for some reason: the top surface of the keycaps seem to be too large for Cherry profile I think.
Haven't had a chance to do much... I got started with it but it's not finished yet. I'll be able to do more this summer once I'm off school
Glad you're adding new features! I tried to give adding Cherry profile a shot myself, but failed miserably. I ended up doing every key manually. Would be great to have this functionality for others, however.
Any news on that? Somebody else released Cherry profile caps models, would be nice if it could be integrated. https://github.com/hineybush/CherryMX
Apparently I found some fonts for GMK keysets over at https://github.com/CQCumbers/kle_render/tree/master/fonts.
For GMK fonts you can rely on:
Helvetica Rounded LT
