Why we like it

Panjea stands out in the superhive library for pairing Blender's node workflow with Python scripting and an optional path to THREE.js on the web.

What is Panjea?

Panjea is a node-based logic editor for Blender aimed at making animations and interactive content. It brings Python scripting into the workflow, and includes an optional export to THREE.js on Panjea.com.

Beyond the node graph, Panjea adds a mapping micro language based on Rich Text Format, with imports from LibreOffice, CalligraWords, and MS Office. You can build custom nodes using Python and an API that abstracts away the details of the Blender version you are on. For anyone starting out, it also ships with Pyrillic, a simplified Python dialect for learning to code.

Panjea works with Blender 2.79, 2.8x, and 2.9x, with Eevee as the render engine used. It runs on Ubuntu Linux and MS Windows 10, and is released under the GPL license. Documentation is provided, and a demo video is available.

Who is Panjea best for?

Panjea is best for blender users building node-based animations and interactive content with Python, and those learning to code through the Pyrillic dialect.

How much does Panjea cost?

Panjea is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Panjea work with?

Panjea works with Blender 2.79, 2.8x, and 2.9x, and Eevee is the render engine used. If you run one of those versions, you can use the node-based logic editor, Python scripting, and the custom-node API that abstracts away the details of the Blender version you are on. For newer Blender releases, check the developer's page to confirm whether support has been extended before installing.

What operating systems does Panjea support?

Panjea supports Ubuntu Linux and MS Windows 10, so those are the platforms it is listed as running on. If you work on one of those systems, you can use the node editor, Python scripting, and the mapping micro language it provides. For other operating systems or newer Windows versions, the developer's page is the place to confirm current support, since only Ubuntu Linux and Windows 10 are stated here.

Can Panjea export projects to the web?

Panjea includes an optional export to THREE.js on Panjea.com, which is how it moves projects toward the web. This sits alongside its node-based logic editor for animations and interactive content, so the same project you build with nodes and Python scripting can be taken further through that export. The export is described as optional, so you can also work entirely inside Blender without using it. For the full picture on how the export works, see the developer's page.

Is Panjea free to use?

Panjea is listed as free here, and it is released under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change over time, so the developer's page is the best place to confirm current pricing and license details before you commit to it. Whatever the arrangement, the plugin provides its node-based logic editor, Python scripting, the Pyrillic dialect for learning to code, and documentation to help you get started.

What is Pyrillic in Panjea?

Panjea ships with Pyrillic, a simplified Python dialect the developer describes as a way to get started learning to code. It sits alongside full Python scripting and the API for building custom nodes, so you can begin with the simpler dialect and work with Python more directly as you go. Documentation is also provided. For details on what Pyrillic covers, the developer's page is the place to look.
