Polyhaven-Browser extension

[klepto2]

Here is a first version of the Polyhaven-extension polyhaven_browser.zip:

This is an early release, but nearly everything should be working.

Some notes:

There might be some errors while converting some materials. this is due the fact that some materials have multiple diffuse files configured and i am currently assuming a "Diffuse" slot and not the other configured maps. This will be fixed and adressed in a later release.

The settings dialog is a proof of concept extension which i plan to release as a standalone extension later and which might be a replacement for the current options dialog in the tools section.

The scripts still have some garbage included which i will get rid of in a future release.

 

Download:

polyhaven_browser.zip

Installation:

Extract the content of the zip into your UltraEngine installation folder. The file structure in zip reflects the needed structure to get it working.

This is great. 

A quick and simple way of getting textures and even models into your project.

For Steam users, placing libcurl.dll in the program folder will cause the Steamworks library to crash:

There are two ways around this.

1. Recompile libcurl to use a different DLL name. I used a precompiled binary because I could not figure out how to compile libcurl with SSL.
2. Before loading the OpenAI module, copy libcurl.dll to the program directory, then load the OpenAI module, then immediately remove the DLL. Not sure if this will work if the DLL is loaded.

I came across something else when looking at the OpenAI API. It appears that the executable curl does work with authorization maybe:

curl https://api.openai.com/v1/images/edits \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
  -F image="@sunlit_lounge.png" \
  -F mask="@mask.png" \
  -F model="dall-e-2" \
  -F prompt="A sunlit indoor lounge area with a pool containing a flamingo" \
  -F n=1 \
  -F size="1024x1024"

Curl comes standard on win10 and 11 now.

I will try the curl approach later. you can also add a refferer to curl.exe which could be used to fully support some api licenses.

Yeah, if you look in OpenAI.lua there are two different calls that use two different approaches. One is using the default content type, and then the other is using JSON. The only tricky part was figuring out how to encode JSON in a command line and then encode that in a Lua file. So, for every quotation mark you have to replace it with \\\"

If you use curl instead of curl.exe, it will make the script cross-platform compatible, I think.

Interesting stuff, anyways.
