Hekate

A magical python game engine powered by panda3d and the panda3d render pipeline

Installation

Tested with: Python 3.7.9

Note: Python 3.8+ is currently unsupported because panda3d has problems packaging the game to an exe with that version. We hope this will be fixed soon. Other features may work.

1. Download the latest release here

2. Put the content of the .zip file into your project folder

3. Run pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Download Blender (tested with 2.9)

5. Download the latest blendHekate.py file and put it on Windows into AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\<your blender version>\scripts\startup. Note if the scripts and startup directory don't exist create them. If the whole Blender Foundation directory doesn't exist, start blender once and close it again.

Getting Started

We have tutorials on how to do stuff with Hekate in the Wiki section of this repository.

Unfortunately till this point we don't have that many tutorials. We would appreciate help creating those. The API Reference and the Sample Project will be your friend for now.

If you want to know some more advanced things of engine, consider the API Documentation

If you can't find what you are searching for, want to show some creations or give feedback, feel free to post things in the Discussion Section
