This is kind of an abandoned project (last commit 6 yrs ago) AFAICT and I"m
not sure it still works with current versions of Blender.
I should give it a try, but I suspect it won't work with Geometry Nodes,
which is the modern way Blender does geometry.

or

This one is simply a Blender add-on that calls OpenSCAD, gets it to produce
an STL model and loads it into Blender.

Neither project seems to offer a true integration of OpenSCAD into Blender,
meaning a solution where we can do away with the existing OpenSCAD UI
entirely and use Blender as the native UI for OpenSCAD.

In particular, I'd like to make the full parametric experience OpenSCAD
provides, and especially the [code -> view result -> code -> view result
...] design loop fully within Blender without ever having to use external
tools.

The scad2nodes experiment (which is just that, btw: an experiment) is part
of a larger effort called geometry-as-code I'm trying to build into Blender
(I've posted about this before, see demo vid here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZq8ZlmqHJo

Which tool would one use for what circumstance and why?

If I ever get around to finishing 'Geometry-As-Code' in Blender, hopefully
you won't need anything else :)

Cheers,

Emmanuel

Hi Folks,

If you're enjoy both OpenSCAD and Blender like I do, here's a fun little
experiment I've coded over last week-end:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TltIX_PWj0g

TL;DR:
- it converts an OpenSCAD model to a tree of geometry nodes in Blender
- at this stage, it is just an initial experiment, and not all
OpenSCAD primitives are fully supported.

Enjoy (if you are into these kinds of things).

I’m looking forward to being able to try it out. I’ve been looking off-and-on for a while for a decent way to get OpenSCAD geometry into a more capable rendering engine.

You can try it now. The steps are shown at the start of the video.
Caveat: not all OpenSCAD primitives are properly implemented yet, so YMMV.
