Blender Addon for Visual Scripting | Serpens

Today we are going to talk about an addon called Serpens that has the potential to change how artists will use Blender because it aims to make the endless possibilities of blenders python scripting tools more accessible. It gives you Visual-Scripting options based on a custom node system to generate python code which you can then share and install as your own addons.

Looks promising, can't wait to try

Thank you for this tutorial video! I was wondering what the workflow for an addon that applied two modifiers to an object in Blender would look like? After reading the documentation for Serpens 3, It said operators should be avoided if possible. Instead, property functions should be used. I haven't been able to find any videos on property functions in Serpens 3, especially in the scenario of creating an addon that applies two modifiers to an object. Any help would be appreciated.

Unless you know scripting, it appears to me more as a UI and functionality editor to the existing blender functions than an add-on creator what adds a new functionality. But even so It certainly worth the money to adjust your needs to a customized UI.

Tried it, and in my opinion is way more complicated than writing an add-on. Getting data in scripting can take you 1 line (2 if you need a variable for indexation) but with the add-on it can take up to 5 nodes, and let's not talk about trying to figure out if you need a get data, get blend data or get blend collection data. I found myself wasting more time figuring out where the hell the data was in the logic of the nodes than actually making operator and functions. And good luck setting conditions to if/else nodes

What if you could script some of maya tools using the nodes and then share it. Then blender would be limitless

I find programming to be much simpler than just all these noodle graph things

Manual for this addon looks more complicated than learning Blender from scratch using the Blender manual.
