Transfer surface layers between Napari and Blender. This plugin is young and has just limited functionality. Contributions are welcome.

## Usage
This plugin has its own submenu with all functionality under `Tools > Blender`. You can start up Blender, send a surface layer to Blender, retrieve all meshes back as one surface layer and shut down Blender.
## Installation instructions
* Download and install [Blender 3.5](https://www.blender.org/download/).
* Start Blender and click the menu `Edit > Preferences`. Activate `Developer extras`.

* It is recommended to run this plugin in a conda environment together with [devbio-napari](https://github.com/haesleinhuepf/devbio-napari),
[vedo](https://vedo.embl.es/) and [napari-process-points-and-surfaces](https://github.com/haesleinhuepf/napari-process-points-and-surfaces).
To install these, please run these commands line-by-line:
```
mamba create --name napari-blender-env python=3.9 devbio-napari vedo -c conda-forge
mamba activate napari-blender-env
pip install napari-process-points-and-surfaces napari-blender-bridge
```
