wtf is fi-shipkit?

FI ShipKit is a toolkit for the 3D program Blender that builds detailed science-fiction spaceships, orbital stations, and city buildings entirely out of adjustable sliders, instead of a person modeling every shape by hand. It works through Blender's geometry nodes feature, and every part of every generator was built with Python code, with no extra add-ons or premade node packs needed. There are five kits included: a stealthy frame ship, a war ship with sharp naval lines, a bright fleet ship, an orbital station generator with several building styles like spires and gantry yards, and a planetside building generator for things like tower blocks and industrial buildings. In each case, you open a ready-made file, drop a generator onto a shape, and then move sliders to change details like faction color scheme, hull style, or how much visual detail to include. Because it needs Blender 4.5 or newer, this is squarely a tool for people already comfortable inside Blender. Everything can also run headless, meaning from a command line with no graphical window open, which lets someone rebuild any kit from scratch, run automatic quality checks, and export finished models to the common .glb file format complete with textures. The project includes scripts for each of these steps, plus design notes explaining the underlying rules the kits follow, and a list of hard-won technical quirks the author ran into while building it, covering things like how Blender's randomness nodes behave and the order operations need to happen in in. The code itself is released under the GPL-3.0-or-later license, which requires that people releasing derivative code keep it open source too. The ready-made kit files, images, and textures are separately licensed under CC-BY-4.0, meaning they can be reused freely as long as credit is given. Ships, renders, or games someone makes using the kit belong entirely to that person, with attribution only required when redistributing the kit assets themselves.
