Blender to create URDF using Phobos


[Unsuccessful] Looking for a method to create robot model in Blender and export to ROS and Gazebo for simulation.

Steps

  1. Download blender v2.79b from https://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.79/. I downloaded blender-2.79b-linux-glibc219-x86_64.tar.bz2.
  2. Extract here. Use it by clicking blender executable in folder.
  3. Git clone Phobos repository. https://github.com/dfki-ric/phobos
  4. Run python3 setup.py and link to blender folder.
  5. 
    ~/blender-2.79b-linux-glibc219-x86_64
        
  6. In Blender, go to File → User Preferences → Search for Phobos.
  7. You can start using add-ons to create urdf and export it.
