Python Scripting for Blender: With Practical Projects

Create a cube and modify its data with Bmesh in Blender's Python API; build a Bmesh from the cube, adjust vertex 3’s y, then write back and free memory.

Learn how to store and access the 3D cursor location in Blender using Python variables, including creating, referencing, and passing cursor coordinates to the cube operator.

Apply radians to rotate objects in Blender using Python, importing the math module and radians function to convert 90 degrees into radians and assign it to x rotation.

Learn to rename Blender objects with Python by iterating over selected objects and updating obj.name and obj.data.name. Use f-strings to insert variables and handle suffixes like underscores.

Develop a studio setup script in Blender using bpy to create a 15-meter square plane as the floor, enter edit mode, subdivide for a curved background, and save the script.

Move back-row vertices along the z axis, add a subdivision surface modifier with level two, and shade the plane smooth to create a ready backdrop.

Reduce duplication by storing vertex values in a list and looping through them to move vertices along the z axis, while adding comments to improve readability.

Learn to script Blender with Python by adding a camera and Suzanne the monkey, positioning and rotating the camera in radians, applying a subdivision surface, and testing in camera view.

Add a fill light and a key light using an area light, set rotation and location, adjust energy, name the lights, and render to preview the scene lighting.

Attach a Blender studio script to a new sidebar panel by defining a panel and a studio creation operator, and using a draw function to place a Create Studio button.

Learn to read a csv file with Python's csv module, extract date and closing price data, and append them to lists for graphing and checking in Blender.

Generate a number list to define x coordinates for graph points by building and appending values from 100 to 2300 in 200-step increments, then print to verify.

Learn to create a new Blender curve with Python, add it to the scene, set 3D, and create a poly spline, preparing for adding points in the next video.

Link a spline to the scene collection in blender by adding points from a coordinates list and creating a CRV line, then make it active for keyframes.

Reveal the graph using curve properties, set up keyframes with Python to animate the curve's bevel end from 0 to 1, and control timeline frames in Blender.

Create a Blender material for the graph line using Python, storing RGB values in color lists, enabling nodes, and linking an emission shader to the material output.

Utilize the zip method to combine date_list and graph_x, updating Blender text objects with dates, center alignment, and positions, then translate them along the x axis.

Create and link an orthographic camera in the scene. Set its type to ortho with ortho scale 2500, and position it at 1152, 890, 100; update background to black.

Learn to build a blender sys exporter add-on that exports objects from collections to a csv with name, material, and dimensions, warning users to save the blend file before exporting.

Set a Blender csv path using a relative path, convert to absolute, and open a utf-8 csv writer to export object name, collection, material, and sizes, limit to 1000 objects.

Filter objects by type (mesh, curve, surface, font, meta) and extract name, dimensions, collections, and materials. Write the data to a csv, formatting dimensions in millimeters.

Define a Blender panel class in the object properties window and add a draw method to place a button in the 3D view UI under size exporter category, launching object_export_size_data.

Register and unregister Blender classes with bpy.utils, define the main guard, fix view 3D naming, and export data to csv via a new panel tab.
