That "info" panel just made my day!!!! Blender blends my passions for coding, 3D design and film making! Keep on spinning!

This scripting series is going to be awesome! Thank you so much!

[RomanticNightDreamer]

just saw this on reddit, and i have to say, i tried in the past to learn blender but i put it on the backburner because i started learning python but now i can do both.
thank you for this push, i knew you could use python to automate blender but i had no idea how & where to start.
Now i cant wait to get me some free time & test it with my Collatz conjecture
script i wrote recently
i hope you'll make more of these.

I wasn't exactly sure where I wanted to draw value from learning to code blender scripts, but by 3:33 you made me realize that I could fairly easily populate a city-scape or something like clouds and maybe with a tweak fog. Like, just changing out the mesh and the axes then adjusting aesthetically after populating. That's days of work saved on the first example you showed me... nice job.

Brilliant and clear teaching new sub great work

Your tutorials will provide an excellent journey into Python Scripting for a total, somewhat reticent beginner like me. Many thanks

[keifferbuckles]

So glad you're doing these! I have coding experience in Java and Javascript but I don't know python or how to do it in blender.

Really cool that you made an updated version.. Much love from ya brotha from anotha motha n California <3

[RedstoneFTW]

hey love this! one annoying request... could you up to 4k or increase the text size? Its a little hard to read at this size/res

[nsaforyou]

I watch you since of a week, you are very successful in teaching and explination blender.

Pleasssee if you would, we need a playlist of tutorials in 2d animation blender

I'm not into 2.8 yet, but in 2.79 you can copy/paste a line from the Info window to the text editor. That way you don't have to type the entire line of code. Click each line in the info window you want to copy to add to the selection for entire blocks of code, or re-click a selected line to deselect it. Then just cmd-C to copy, and cmd-V to paste into the text editor. It also works to or from the Python console.
Thanks for your detailed and concise tutorials.

Thanks, Olav! Great tutorial and very informative for beginners and intermediate learners as well!

[ShutterAuthority]

Great tutorial Olav! I already feel more intelligent haha

[QRCoal]

This would be great if you could see what is being written. As I could not see what was being written it was no use to me. Is it possible to get a text file of what you wrote in the text editor.

Thank u 🙏🏻 for this intresting tutorial

[elizabethhamilton]

Easy to follow. I have never scripted in Python so I appreciate the quality of your tutorial.

[ratneshkeshari]

Thanks a ton for this excellent tutorial.... wanted to add a bit, m using blender 2.8 and I am able to copy script lines from info and directly paste on python editor.

A nice introduction. One thing to add: By default it's left-click select in Blender 2.8

[lazaredurand]

The command " bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_monkey_add(location=0, 0, 0))" does not work for me it answer me the error: " File "<blender_console>", line 1
bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_monkey_add(location=0, 0, 0))
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax"
