Create a Custom Blender Panel with less than 50 lines of Python code

In this video tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a custom panel that will appear right in the sidebar of your 3D viewport.
I'll take you through all the necessary steps to create your very own panel, from start to finish. I'll show you how to turn your custom panel into a convenient add-on that you can use whenever you need it.

This is phenomenal! Your speech is legible and easy to understand. Explanation is on point. Concise and clear.

This tutorial was sooo good. It was a great starting point for me and now I've created a whole bunch of automation things and buttons to make work easier. Thank you very much!

[Cacapoulette]

amazing explanation, thank you so much ! I like your way to show how you would find the information (documentation, blender logs), it's very important for us to learn the process as well.

Excellent video! I'm not great with Blender's python API and this explained exactly what I needed to know.

This guy is really saving me. Thanks a lot for the high-quality content and the clarity of your videos, bro

Hey buddy. Amazing amazing work! It feels so good to have some blender python nerds (like myself) open YouTube channel! Kudos, and blissfully well done on the tutorials!

Thank You for this great tutorial, I really appreciate the "style" and "tempo" as well as the chosen appropriatley "byte size" examples ;)
Best regards

Thanks for showing the basics of creating an add-on! I think you should do a course on Udemy or other such platforms as do many others judging by the comments! Keep up the great work!

Thanks for this. Would love a video going over how to run custom operators on buttons.

thanks for your tutorial ! very useful .

[cosmicoverlap]

Thank you for this tutorial! I was wondering if you have a tutorial that covers texturing and displacement on a plane? I've been having a hard time trying to figure out how to import a texture while applying a displacement modifier to an object with the imported texture, all from an addon window. Thx.

My Add on did not show in the Add on installation panel in the Edt > Preferences Tab. May be I didn't save it as a zipped file.

Im at 4:49 and running the script just does nothing. Im incredibly confused.

[ngnash]

Thanks for tips @CGPython Is it possible to set panel's default width? I was trying bl_ui_units_x but it's not working -_-

[jamesashworth]

Are you able to lets say create your own custom panel from 3 other addons?

Example If I have 3 lighting addons and would like to pick only certain features from them into a single panel?

[paulblart]

Can you teach us how to wrap a c++ code in Blender and make a custom floating panel?

[veolenco]

is there a way to create multiple buttons with one operator but with different parameters? I just want to create only one operator class, but inside execute block I want to read the parameter. I mean only buttons, without props. For example, Button 1 calls a parameter that Creates one sphere, and Button 2 calls the same parameter which creates two spheres. And only parameters changes (1 or 2)
