Can you check out a sick addon I made?

Whatup blender.community ,

I just finished adding a ton of new features to a pretty sweet blender addon I made that lets you save a whole bunch of time on your creative process by linking Blender to Thangs DIRECTLY to get sick meshes/models for blender.

I posted in this thread a while back, but I just recently was able to get direct import working with Thangs. It also allows you to view the license of models you want to import!

Installation takes just 2 minutes, instructions are here: Blender Market OR Github .

Good design takes a LONG time. My hypothesis is that bootstrapping the initial mesh design (via search for 13M models) may save blender designers considerable time.

Thangs.com has a search index with nearly 13M meshes, and my goal is to open that index to blender users, in-app (while respecting the content owner's license).

Other details Re: privacy, paid services:

The add-on itself requires no login Thangs and the add-on are free It captures no identifying user data (just a beacon event to let me know someone installed)

Feedback is super important to me - if you think of a way to make it better, add a feature/issue request here !
