         Over the past weeks, our team implemented a set of Python scripts for
         generating randomized 3D models of furniture items in Blender. The
         furniture types covered include beds, chairs, dressers, and tables. Each
-        script focuses on a specific type of furniture and utilizes Blender's
-        API and bmesh library to procedurally generate the 3D models with
-        varying dimensions, materials, and features. The goal is to create a
-        diverse set of realistic furniture models that can be used in various
-        applications such as interior design visualization, game development, or
-        virtual environments.

-        The chair generation script follows a similar approach, with functions

-        cushion of the chair. The seat shape is randomly selected between a cube
-        and a cylinder, and the dimensions of each component are randomized. The

-        surfaces of the chair. The chosen material is assigned to the chair

-        The dresser generation script focuses on creating a dresser with
-        multiple drawers and optional legs. It utilizes the bmesh library to
-        create the basic geometry of the dresser body, drawers, and knobs. The
-        script randomizes the number of rows and columns of drawers, as well as
-        their dimensions and spacing. It also determines the presence and
-        dimensions of the legs and an optional base. The drawers and knobs are
-        positioned correctly based on the dresser's dimensions. The script
-        assigns random materials (wood, plastic, or metal) to the dresser body,
-        drawers, and knobs to add variety. Finally, it recalculates the UV
-        coordinates of the dresser components to ensure proper texture mapping.

         The table generation script generates a randomized table with a top and
         four legs. It starts by deleting any existing table objects in the scene
         to avoid duplicates. The script then randomizes the dimensions of the
         table top and legs. The table top shape is randomly selected between a
         cube and a cylinder, and the corresponding geometry is created using
-        Blender's primitive operations. The script applies beveling and
-        subdivision to the table top to achieve smoother edges. The table legs
-        are created as cylinders and positioned based on the table top shape and
-        dimensions. Finally, a random plastic material with a randomized color
-        is assigned to the table and legs.

         Throughout the furniture generation process, the scripts utilize various
         techniques to add realism and variation to the models. These include
         randomizing dimensions within predefined ranges, selecting random
         materials and textures, applying modifiers like beveling and
-        subdivision, and positioning components relative to each other. The use
