would it be possible to select the center most edge after beveling automatically?? it would be super useful for making seams

Hello. Thank you very much for this video. Is it normal using VSCode for Blender is considerably slower than just Blender Scripting? I use Blender 3.6.14 and just generating 300 objects takes some minutes when using VSCode, somtimes even crash, and only a few second when using directly the built in scripting interface of Blender.

thanks 🙂

Hi! I found your channel a while ago on another machine and I found it again on my own machine and my own account. awesome videos, btw do you have a course somewhere (Udemy maybe?) for Blender Add-on development that I can take?

Does anyone know how to assign one material to multiple meshes?

I highly encourage any to use python virtual environments (venv) and then activating it for isololated, version-controllable environments at the minimum. Some other dev tools may be more useful as well.

This did help - but how do I bevel only one edge e.g. with index = 11?

Hi, I have been following your tutorials from long, they are great. I wanted to understand... 1. Which is more easy or beneficial creating things directly with Geometry nodes? or using Python scripts to make geometry nodes? 2. Can we create every geometry node with Python? or are there limitations? It yes, then isn't it better to create Geometry nodes directly? as they as visual way of programming? Rather that coding them in Python and then using them? I really wanted to understand if Python based Geometry nodes helps something extra... I tried to search answers on internet but in vein. Thank you.

Could you do a video about qt, pyside or anything else working with blender? It would be very useful to know how to create external tool, custom UI, etc... and make it able to interact with blender. A simple example can be an external qt ui interface with a delete / add cube buttons that work inside blender... 🔥

The background music is very distracting :(

Thx you - this helped a lot !

Great stuff! thanks!!! I got an error on line 395 had to reassign "AgX - Very High Contrast" instead of "Very High Contrast" then it runs great. Working with Blender 4.2 now

I love this video but your audio needs some work

Again - a very helpfull video - Thx!

Very nice set of tutorials! Is there a simple way to convert this function to a Blender modifier (i.e. to apply it to a selected mesh within Blender UI)?

I greatly appreciate your help; you went straight to the point. I was looking for an output platform for the data I'm about to generate through IoT sensors. If you have any recommendations for a bootcamp that covers this topic, I would be very happy. I'm asking for this recommendation because of the quality of your explanation, which was impeccable! You earned a subscribed!

Where can I get more advanced tutorials covering panel ui ?

Where will you get the code for registering the window manger???

your voice sound so soothing, it almost feels therapeutic

Very nice. You could continue this great script by making it more idiomatic Python. For example, rather than reassigning from and to node variables (only in python is this ever considered acceptable code 😱) simply define a function that takes the from/to nodes and output/input names to connect as parameters. This is a two-birds refactoring: readability and reusability. You can use the same technique with the x-coordinate of the nodes. Hide the increment in a function, call it each time and just assign each new return value when you create the node. Then you can also encapsulate that within a new_node(…) function that takes a node name and calls the increment. I’m coming at this as a Python programmer learning Blender scripting. We’ll meet in the middle! Again, awesome tutorial.

Master how i can controle timeline Driver whit geometry nodes and python?? would be amazig for make a procedural crows animation

I think you should create a simple extension that bundle python module using wheel .

YES!! Thank you so much!!!

Is there a way to stop a script from running when it doesn't work without shutting down Blender? Right now, I choose kill terminal in VS Code and it stops processing the script of course, but in doing so it shuts down Blender as well. Also, why are my scripts becoming read only where I can't edit them?

Thank you for sharing. Please no background Sounds/music. I am not an native english speaker and it makes it hard to follow, your sometimes really fast, speechpattern 😖

Why install Python when you can configure VSCode to use the Blender interpreter. So the first point can be safely crossed out.

Hello, thank you for this great turotial. Is it possible to export the material so that it can be retrieved from another script?

Watching this at 1.75x speed, the background music become drumb&bass XD

​@CGPython Could you please help me understand how to create a drop-down menu within a compositor Node Group in Blender?

Now scripts created on ChatGPT can get errors. I’ve created a Blender add-on that automates the process of having GPT generate code, running it in the text editor, and pasting any errors back into GPT. It also automates finding code examples to give it. You can provide it with any add-on or file as an example. For people who write Blender Python scripts, this is a game-changing tool. Is there a way I could get you to do a video on it? Or maybe I could send you a copy to test-it’s really robust, with over twenty thousand lines of code.

Спасибо огромное!!!

I love the way he just explain. First show problem then give the solution to train my brain at learning time.

Спасибо огромное!!! Вы очень хорошо объясняете!

Thank you SO much for this video. It helped me a ton! 🙏

Thanks for the good and useful videos. I'm pretty new to Blender programming. I'm using homebrew to install a lot of useful s/w. The python3 - m pip install fake-bpy-module forces to use either brew or pipx. However, either of those works. Can you add the homebrew and pipx way in you video? I would help a lot.

Nah this is not getting enough recognition yet, You are my hero from now on :)

Hello Victor, I thought I saw that it was possible in some way to do the opposite. I mean install blender as a python module. Wouldn't that be more advantageous? If possible, would you consider making a video to explain how to do it? THANKS

Great video! Thanks for sharing that, neat tip. And just so users know, they don't have to install Python or pip themselves. It's already included with Blender. The path on Windows is "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 4.2\4.2\python\bin\python.exe". So you can just do "python.exe -m pip" instead of just "pip" while in that folder (or use the full file path).

the problem am facin is how to separate system python of blender python. or how to change interpreter without getting conflicts. I start getting this issues just recently on win 11

Bro i spent like FOREVER trying to find how to use pygame with blender. Eventually figured it out omg i woulda killed for this video in thag time

This is very helpful. Thank you!

Hi Victor, muito obrigado por compartilhar de uma forma tão direta e fácil para o leigo este aprendizado

that helped a lot!

Wow, this is a big help! Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Useful information, easy to pick up. Thanks for sharing.
