Procedural spaceship generator in Python.
This uses a slightly modified version of the awesome SpaceshipGenerator blender script by Michael Davies to generate spaceships and post them to Twitter, Tumblr and Mastodon.
I currently have it designed to run on a schedule every 6 hours and it generates an animated gif once a day at midnight, other times it just generates a single ship image.
I made the loosely Chris Foss inspired hull and light textures in Photoshop, the space backgrounds are all CC0 images mostly from nasa. I also added a spaceship name generator.
Operation:
python spacesh1ps.py
Requirements:
- ImageMagic to generate the animated gifs.
- Tweepy for posting tweets.
- pyTumblr for posting to Tumblr.
- Mastodon.py for posting to Mastodon.
