GSoC 2024: Geometry Nodes: File Import Nodes

Week 1

For this week:

  • I have raised a pull request for the STL import node (for now it uses string path as input, will be changed to file selector)
  • Went over the error reporting for geometry nodes and handled multiple error cases w.r.t to the STL importer
  • Refactored the STL importer ensuring zero code duplicacy
  • Python side changes for add menu layout (discussed where the STL import node should go)

At the beginning of the week Hans and I discussed that delivering the STL node first would be the most straight forward thing as it’s the simplest format. I still have some reviews to go through for the pull request and then most probably will start with the file selector dialog followed by refactoring of the OBJ importer.
