Twitter Bot

Description:

The 3Dbot takes images as input and maps them into a cube. The script creates multiple variations of these cubes changing the position and rotation of them. After doing that, the image is rendered and posted back to twitter.

The geometry is created using vapory and rendered using POVray.

Note that you will need to source your own keys and install the necessary libraries to make it work.

###LOAD LIBRARIES ###


from vapory import *
from math import pi, sqrt, sin, cos
from random import*
from PIL import Image

###CREATE FUNCTION###

def create_3D():

###DEFINE VARIABLES###

    #image.save("process.png")
    n_boxes=randint(25,34)
    h_boxes=randint(20,30)
    distances  = [1*i for i in range(h_boxes)]
    distances2  = [1*j for j in range(n_boxes)]

###CREATE BOXES AT RANDOM LOCATIONS AND ASIGN IMAGE AS MAP###
    box= [Box([-0.5+y/4, -0.5+x/4, -0.5],[0.5+y/4,x/4+0.5,0.5],Texture('uv_mapping',
                        Pigment( ImageMap('png', '"process.png"')),
                        Finish('diffuse','albedo', 1.2)),
                        'rotate',[randrange(x,180),randrange(x,35),randrange(x,180)])
                for y in distances
                for x in distances2
                ]

###SET UP SCENE FOR RENDERING AND SAVING THE FILE####
                
    tt=[Background( "color", [0,0,0] )]


    sun = [LightSource([-1500,2500,-2500], 'color', [1.5,1.5,1.5])]


    scene = Scene( Camera('angle', 75,'location',  [0.7, 2,-6],'rotate',[0,-15,0]),
                      #'look_at', [0.5 , 0.5 , 0.5]),
                   objects = (box+sun+tt),
                   included = ["colors.inc", "textures.inc"],
                   defaults = [Pigment( ImageMap('png', '"cube.png"','once')),Finish( 'ambient', 0.1, 'diffuse', 0.9)] )

    scene.render("chessboard.png", width=500, height=400, antialiasing=0.000001, quality=9)

###tHE SCRIPT IS LOADED AND THE FUNCTION ( def create_3D ) IS CALLED FROM WITHIN THE TWITTERBOT SCRIPT ###

Wow. Breaking the twitter wall :) Very good job.
You are really taking twitterbots to the next dimension!
