- The background from the video above, is this scene below. The original panoramic image was 13312 x 6656 pixels, and taken from Google Maps, following this tutorial.
- I used these softwares below to make the panoramic animation above:
- iStreet View
- Street View Download 360
- PhotoAnim
- Mixamo
- Blender 2.82a
- Kapwing -- Repeat Video
- Spatial Media Metadata Injector
- I roughly followed -- this tutorial to get the 360° image; this tutorial and this tutorial to import the 360° image into Blender; and this tutorial to export the animation from Blender (tutorial playlist).

- I installed the GitHub: SuperPoke Blender addon -- the "Iterative poking tool for Blender" -- one of GitHub: many by Midge Sinnaeve. I tried it out on one of my 3D figures, and am showing off the wrinkled result in the animated GIF below.
- I decimated the above 3D object with GitHub: Instant Meshes, into very basic polygons before importing it to Blender 2.82a. Then I altered it with the GitHub: SuperPoke Blender addon.
- Curtis Holt: I followed his YouTube tutorial -- Free Generative Modeling Addon for Blender 2.8 -- and downloaded -- BY_GEN -- his free generative Blender addon from Gumroad.
- PROCEDURE: I used the same low polygon OBJ model as in the previous experiment, and applied the "Metal Shell" mode to it following this point in the YouTube tutorial (note I had to increase the thickness in the "wire frame modifier"). Anyone can download the resulting wire frame figure here (5.95 MB).
- I followed this YouTube tutorial to make a turntable animation: Blender Tutorial: Turntable Camera Rigs Made Easy.
- Blender Addons mentioned above:

- GitHub: many by Midge Sinnaeve
- GitHub: Instant Meshes (decimates the OBJ file, not an addon)
- BY_GEN
- Googling "generative plug in Blender" I came across this discussion in the BlenderArtists.org, from September 2018, with some specific links:
- GitHub: Jaques Lucke’s animation nodes -- (video)
- GitHub: Sverchok add-on
- I wish that one day maybe we can have such tool for Blender VR: 3D Paint Strokes Grease Pencil.
- GitHub: alessandro-zomparelli/tissue --(video) --Tissue is already shipped with both Blender 2.79b and Blender 2.80.

- BEGINNING
- I started learning Blender 2.82a with Grant Abbit's series of YouTube tutorials:
- Blender 2.8 for Complete Beginners
- BACKGROUND IMAGE
- I discovered how to add a background image with Henry Egloff's tutorials:
- Text tutorial (simpler method): How to Render a Background Image in Blender 2.8 Using the Document World Settings
- YouTube tutorial (using nodes): How to Render a Background Image in Blender 2.8 Using a Camera Background Image
- YouTube tutorial: Blender Tutorial: Turntable Camera Rigs Made Easy

- YouTube tutorial: 360° Render Settings (For Images and Video) - Blender Tutorial
- Program: Spatial Media Metadata Injector v2.1
- 360° from GOOGLE MAPS
- ANIMATIONS
- I followed the tutorial below to get the 360° street scene from Google (note: if iStreet View does not work, saying "for development purposes," keep trying).

- Program: RenderDoc

- Blender GIS looks promising, but it was freezing my computer:
- Program: Blender GIS
- YouTube Tutorial: Blender GIS
- The two generative Blender addons below, altered the simplified figure in the middle in the grey animated GIF above.
- GitHub: SuperPoke Blender addon
- BY_GEN -- YouTube video on BY_GEN 5
- I decimated the middle 3D figure of my drawing above, with GitHub: Instant Meshes, into very basic polygons before importing it to Blender 2.82a. If the 3D image is too complex, it freezes my laptop during the final rendering phase. Download the decimated OBJ +MTL files of the 3D object, derived from my drawing (Zip file, 31.36 KB)
