Status: Open

Gimp Palettes is an add-on to allow easy use of colours from Gimp palette (.gpl) files. The colours are used to generate swatch objects with materials showing the colours; the swatches can be viewed in their own scene in the 3D view, and chosen materials can of course be applied to other objects.

You can also define custom swatch objects to create more elaborate displays, and preset other material settings besides the colour.

The GitHub repo includes user docs as well as the current source.

Event Timeline

Hi,
Due to changes to the api including the merging of bmesh, several addons are outdated.
Please, if you are the author of an addon check your script with blender revision 44256 or newer.
That is builds made After blender 2.62 official release.
I would ask that updates be made to your addon before the Blender 2.63 release.
6-8 weeks away.
This allows time for the api to become more exposed & bmesh to stablize furthur.
If you need help, drop into irc freenode #blenderpython or #blendercoders & feel welcome to ask questions.
At the time of 2.63 release, scripts that are not repaired or in active developement will have their tracker page marked "Closed"
this will not affect your links to the tracker, similar to closing scripts in 2.49b, the page will be still availible & can be re-opened.

Thanks for your understanding & patience during these Exciting Times.
Brendon.

Interesting, I haven’t received any e-mail notification about your above comment yet (coming up to 2 months).

Anyway, I have checked the addon against a recent Blender build (from 4 days ago), and it seems to work fine.

hi, thanks for updating :)
I think you need to monitor the page to get all updates
Are you interested in moving this script forward to contrib soon?

If you find it useful enough to include, I’d be delighted. :)

By the way, I got an e-mail notification about your last response, even though I didn’t change any monitoring settings at my end.

Hmm, one obvious deficiency: it doesn’t support Cycles materials.

hmm, ok thinking on it a little,
I don't think cycles is stable/api friendly enough at this stage.
It may be that code can be added at some later time.
I'll ask ideasman_42 about it.
I think you should be ok.
