Welcome to the Phobos Wiki!
Phobos is an open-source add-on for Blender which simplifies creating and editing robot models and environments to be used in different simulation frameworks (such as the MARS simulation). Specifically, Phobos allows the user to create URDF files as well as SMURF robot descriptions in a visual, interactive user interface, providing a number of import and export options. See the list of supported formats.
Check out the Phobos milestones if you're interested in its further development. We try to keep them up to date, but there may always be short-term changes. Currently we mainly develop Phobos to fit our own project needs, which sometimes arise on short notice.
If you would like to contribute to Phobos, you can start by checking out which issues we work on at the moment. You can also have a look at our code documentation.
This documentation is still far from extensive. There are probably a lot of difficulties for Blender beginners that we have overlooked and there are certainly features in Phobos that we have not covered at all or at least not comprehensively enough. We therefore appreciate if you contact us about issues you have with Phobos. Either the documentation might not be sufficient or you have stumbled upon a bug - both cases are something we would like to know.
