v0.4.1 · today
A library that extracts Blender's GPU-accelerated user interface into a standalone C core usable from Python, Rust, JavaScript, C, C++ and Dear ImGui.
Why you might care
Gives you Blender's widget drawing, interaction rules and look in your own app without running Blender. Useful if you want a native-feeling, low-overhead UI from several languages; the README claims battery and memory efficiency, but benchmark figures are not verified here.
