# colorpie
|
||||
|
||||
A tool to visualize color settings when an STL file is converted into a GLB. Being able to define a color wheel of 10 colors allows one to hone in of the desired color that the GLB should display.
|
||||
The model is designed with each sliver of the pie having faceted edges and "table" or "crown" like a diamond in orer to evaluate the color.
|
||||
|
||||
This was developed using ChatGPT.
|
||||
|
||||
# Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
Python
|
||||
|
||||
Blender. I used 5.0.0, this project probably is compatible with older versions as it is a very simple use of Blender. https://www.blender.org/
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSCAD (optional) if you want to alter the model.
|
||||
|
||||
# Example usage
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some colorpie examples:
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Full-spectrum hue wheel
|
||||
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td width="50%">
|
||||
<img src="img/20260306_124625_Fri.png" alt="Render 1" width="100%">
|
||||
</td>
|
||||
<td width="50%">
|
||||
<img src="img/20260306_124711_Fri.png" alt="Render 2" width="100%">
|
||||
</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
Use 10 hues spaced 36° apart around HSV/HSL hue space. A good vivid set is:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
FF0000
|
||||
FF9900
|
||||
CCFF00
|
||||
33FF00
|
||||
00FF66
|
||||
00FFFF
|
||||
0066FF
|
||||
3300FF
|
||||
CC00FF
|
||||
FF0099
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
blender-bin-5.0.0 --background --python scripts/create_glb_colorpie.py -- \
|
||||
scad/wedge.stl glb/colorpie_gamut_20260306_1213.glb \
|
||||
--hexes FF0000,FF9900,CCFF00,33FF00,00FF66,00FFFF,0066FF,3300FF,CC00FF,FF0099
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That is the best “walk the gamut” wheel for visual comparison.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Voron-oriented wheel
|
||||
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td width="50%">
|
||||
<img src="img/20260306_125039_Fri.png" alt="Render 1" width="100%">
|
||||
</td>
|
||||
<td width="50%">
|
||||
<img src="img/20260306_125056_Fri.png" alt="Render 2" width="100%">
|
||||
</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
If you want a Voron-flavored wheel, I would not call it canonical unless you have exact house values, but a useful practical set would be:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
FFFFFF
|
||||
D9D9D9
|
||||
BFBFBF
|
||||
808080
|
||||
606060
|
||||
404040
|
||||
202020
|
||||
000000
|
||||
FF6600
|
||||
CC5500
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
blender-bin-5.0.0 --background --python scripts/create_glb_colorpie.py -- \
|
||||
scad/wedge.stl glb/colorpie_voronish_20260306_1213.glb \
|
||||
--hexes FFFFFF,D9D9D9,BFBFBF,808080,606060,404040,202020,000000,FF6600,CC5500
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Neutral grayscale wheel
|
||||
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td width="50%">
|
||||
<img src="img/20260306_124824_Fri.png" alt="Render 1" width="100%">
|
||||
</td>
|
||||
<td width="50%">
|
||||
<img src="img/20260306_124840_Fri.png" alt="Render 2" width="100%">
|
||||
</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
This is useful for studying lighting and reflectance without hue distractions:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
FFFFFF
|
||||
E6E6E6
|
||||
CCCCCC
|
||||
B3B3B3
|
||||
999999
|
||||
808080
|
||||
666666
|
||||
4D4D4D
|
||||
333333
|
||||
000000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
blender-bin-5.0.0 --background --python scripts/create_glb_colorpie.py -- \
|
||||
scad/wedge.stl glb/colorpie_grayscale_20260306_1213.glb \
|
||||
--hexes FFFFFF,E6E6E6,CCCCCC,B3B3B3,999999,808080,666666,4D4D4D,333333,000000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Warm-to-cool wheel
|
||||
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td width="50%">
|
||||
<img src="img/20260306_125157_Fr_warmcooli.png" alt="Render 1" width="100%">
|
||||
</td>
|
||||
<td width="50%">
|
||||
<img src="img/20260306_125138_Fri_warmcool.png" alt="Render 2" width="100%">
|
||||
</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
This is a good comparison set for perceptual differences:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
FF0000
|
||||
FF4000
|
||||
FF8000
|
||||
FFCC00
|
||||
FFFF99
|
||||
CCFFFF
|
||||
99CCFF
|
||||
6699FF
|
||||
3366FF
|
||||
0000FF
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
blender-bin-5.0.0 --background --python scripts/create_glb_colorpie.py -- \
|
||||
scad/wedge.stl glb/colorpie_warmcool_20260306_1213.glb \
|
||||
--hexes FF0000,FF4000,FF8000,FFCC00,FFFF99,CCFFFF,99CCFF,6699FF,3366FF,0000FF
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Low-saturation “printer realism” wheel
|
||||
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td width="50%">
|
||||
<img src="img/20260306_124934_Fri.png" alt="Render 1" width="100%">
|
||||
</td>
|
||||
<td width="50%">
|
||||
<img src="img/20260306_124957_Fri.png" alt="Render 2" width="100%">
|
||||
</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
This is useful because many real plastics are not neon-vivid:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
C96A6A
|
||||
C99A6A
|
||||
C9C36A
|
||||
9FC96A
|
||||
6AC97A
|
||||
6AC9B5
|
||||
6AAFC9
|
||||
6A86C9
|
||||
7C6AC9
|
||||
B56AC9
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
blender-bin-5.0.0 --background --python scripts/create_glb_colorpie.py -- \
|
||||
scad/wedge.stl glb/colorpie_muted_20260306_1213.glb \
|
||||
--hexes C96A6A,C99A6A,C9C36A,9FC96A,6AC97A,6AC9B5,6AAFC9,6A86C9,7C6AC9,B56AC9
|
