Stephen,

It's located here for me... D:\Users\Peter\Documents\Blender Files\add_mesh_SpaceshipGenerator

The file is spaceship_generator.py or __init_.py

Cheers,

HMU at peter at projectabaddon dot com

Stephen, you'll find it on line: 510 in spaceship_generator.py.

# Generates a textured spaceship mesh and returns the object.
# Just uses global cube texture coordinates rather than generating UVs.
# Takes an optional random seed value to generate a specific spaceship.
# Allows overriding of some parameters that affect generation.
def generate_spaceship(random_seed='',
num_hull_segments_min=3,
num_hull_segments_max=6,
create_asymmetry_segments=True,
num_asymmetry_segments_min=1,
num_asymmetry_segments_max=5,
create_face_detail=True,
allow_horizontal_symmetry=True,
allow_vertical_symmetry=False,
apply_bevel_modifier=True,
assign_materials=True):
if random_seed:
seed(random_seed)

Also, download Sublime Text 3 for editing or VSCode (Visual Studio Code) or even easier: NotePad++. ALL FREE...

I'm a senior software engineer and write A.I. Code for a company I work for using NODE, Angular 7, Bootstrap 4, Git, Jenkins and love this. I'm 59 and been coding for over 35 years. The .py code is commented well, easy to read and navigate. My only question is will this work for any type of shape; albeit - circle, ellipse, polygon, triangle, etc...

I'm the creator, writer and producer for http://www.projectabaddon.com and I have a challenge for all of you. I need ships and space station as well as a MARS that's inhabited. My world is 350 years in our future. Check out the website I developed. I'm working with Dan Curry, Michael Demeritt, Thomas P Vitale (former head of Syfy and Chiller), Rick Sternbach and others. I'm working with Steve Longi (Longitude Entertainment) as a client of his, to help me hon the script for prep to pitch a various studios including Warner Bros and SONY (who I've met with last February).

Thank you for this and my experience as an Architectural Draftsman from the 70's - 00's and using AutoCAD helps me to ramp up quickly with Blender.

I love, love love these models...
But how do we export the textures for these models with the fbx versions of the models?
Is there a tutorial available for newbies using these models from blender to unity..?

In reply to Bart.

Just awesome...Hats off to developer :)
Behavior of this tool is completely random, no idea whats so ever what might be the result after providing inputs :)
For surprising designs it is the best for spaceships till now.
