#xromm — Public Fediverse posts

FYI for those doing #XROMM, we've now moved everything over to github: https://github.com/XROMMPackages

Excited to say the #XROMM toolkit for #blender (#b3d) is now accepted into the extensions repository. That means it's as easy to install as opening settings, going to addons, typing "xromm", and clicking install:

v0.9 of the #XROMM tools for #Blender is now released on GitHub: https://github.com/pfalkingham/XROMM_BlenderTools

I've implemented everything I initially wanted to, and now all I want before a proper v1.0 release is testing to make sure there's no bugs. If you do XROMM and know blender, give it a try and let me know how it goes.

GitHub page has a wiki for instructions.

My first release of #XROMM toolkit for Blender (#b3d) is now out, v0.1: https://github.com/pfalkingham/XROMM_BlenderTools

Not everything implemented yet, but you can:
import cameras + image planes
Apply rigid body transforms to objects
Create axes w/ locators
Calculate relative motion between objects.

New paper on #hominid footprints, limb kinematics, and feet, out now in NatEcolEvo: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-022-01929-2

We used #XROMM and #DEM #Simulation to view and model the foot sediment interaction.

The arch in early hominid tracks likely does _not_ reflect anatomy, but does inform about kinematics
