0. What is Python?

Python is one of the programming languages. It has the feature of ** simple and easy to read ** compared to other languages. Computational and rich in available ** libraries **.

Point: ** Library ** A useful ** code collection ** that someone has put together

Point: ** Code ** ** Instructions ** to a computer

1. How to get started with Blender Python

1-0. Blender version

◯ ** Version 2.91.0 ** will be used for explanation.

• Although it can be used with other versions, there are some differences. 2.91.0 Below reference: Blender Python Tutorial: An Introduction to Scripting

1-1. Get ready to write code

1-1-0. Open Blender. 1-1-1. Click ** Scripting **.

1-1-2. Click the "+ New" button.

1-1-3. Click "Text" to change it to ~ .py.

Now you're ready to write code in a text editor!

1-2. About layout

● 3D Viewport: Where to edit in 3D ● Python Console: A place to test short code ● Info: Where to display what you have done ● Text Editor: Where to edit the code

2. Run the program

2-0. Use Text Editor

◯ Use the Text Editor to add the monkey to the (0,0,5) point of the 3D Viewport.

• Note: ** Editing is not possible unless you move the ** mouse cursor ** to each editing area **.

2-0-0: ** @ 3D Viewport **: Delete the default cube with the X key. 2-0-1: ** @ 3D Viewport **: Select shift + A key → Mesh → monkey. 2-0-2: ** @ Info **: The code for adding monkey is displayed. Right-click and copy it.

2-0-3: ** @ Text Editor **: Right-click or command + V to paste. 2-0-4: ** @ Text Editor **: Change the appearance coordinates of monkey.

• It can be changed by adjusting the value of location = (x, y, z).

2-1. Use Python Console

◯ Use the Python Console to add a large monkey to the (0,5,0) point in the 3D Viewport.

• Import bpy is not required on the console.

2-1-0: ** @ Text Editor **: Change size to 5 and location to (0,5,0) and copy the code.

• The vertical notation is to make the code easier to read, and it does not have to be done !!

2-1-1: ** @ Python Console **: Paste the code and press Enter.

2-1-2: ** @ 3D Viewport **: Check if a large monkey appears.

3. How to save

3-0. Save the whole

File → Save As → Save as ~ .blend

3-1. Save only the code

3-1-0: Click Text → Save As.

3-1-1: Select the location (folder) you want to save and press Sava As to save.

Finally

The details of the code will be explained in the next article. All operations are displayed as code in ** Info **, so please try various things !!

I want to make a good article, so I would be grateful if you could give me a lot of opinions on twitter etc. Thank you!!
