Modal operators are an exception, keeping their instance variable as blender runs, see modal operator template. The output from the main function is sent to the terminal; in order to see this, be sure to use the terminal. While this is not best practice - for testing you can extend the search path, this example adds the current blend files directory to the search path, then loads the script as a module. For Linux and OSX users this means starting the terminal first, then running blender from within it. This is an intentional part of the API design. Create new property group with a sub property bpy. When customizing blender you may want to group your own settings together, after all, they will likely have to co-exist with other scripts.

Tips and Tricks — Blender r - API documentation

pythonn This allows the script to be run directly in the text editor to test changes. It is also possible to run an operator in a particular part of the user interface. Some attributes such as bpy. While this is not best practice - for testing you can extend the search path, this example adds the current blend files directory to the search path, then loads the script as a module.

Typed or pasted into the interactive console.

Object(ID) — Blender - API documentation

The interactive console is great for testing one-liners, It also has autocompleation so you can inspect the api quickly. Enter search terms or a module, class or function name. Loading classes into blender is described above, for simple cases calling bpy. When writing scripts that operate on editmode data you will normally want to re-calculate the tessellation after running the script, this needs to be called explicitly.

This data is saved with the blend file and copied with objects.

This works by creating a python subclass of a Blender class which contains variables and functions specified by the parent class which are pre-defined to interface with Blender. For example to override bpy. These functions usually appear at pythno bottom of the script containing class registration sometimes adding menu items. When assigning a property, you can make up your own names, these will be created when needed or overwritten if they exist.

For this we need to pass the window, screen, area and sometimes a region. A quick list of helpful things to know before starting: This gives access to library data. Navigation index modules next previous Blender 2.

Blender uses Python 3. When developing your own scripts it may help to understand how blender sets up its python environment. The bmesh module is written to be standalone except for mathutils which is used for vertex locations and normals. Write out 3D models to use external mesh manipulation tools and read blended in the results. Note The output from the main function is sent to the terminal; in order to see this, be sure to use the terminal.

From the user perspective they are a tool but Python can run these with its own settings through the bpy. By defining menus, headers and panels.

Note that unlike bpya BMesh does not necessarily correspond to data in the currently open blend file, a BMesh can be created, edited and freed without the user ever seeing or having access to it. Note The class must be registered before being used in a property, failing to do so will raise an error: Used for vectors, quaternion, eulers, matrix and color types, accessible from mathutils.

These values cannot be modified directly, though they may be changed by running API functions or by using the data API. Example of a matrix, vector multiplication: Here are examples of blenedr methods. Enter search terms or a module, class or function name. Admittedly this highlights the lack of any python debugging support built into blender, but its still handy to know. Lastly the register function is called, this takes the class and loads it into blender.

This works in the game engine as well, it can be handy to inspect the state of a running game. Blender modules loaded at startup require register and unregister functions. This determines the context thats given to the operator to run in, and weather invoke is called or execute.
