Hi Victor. I've got Part 1 complete and I look forward to getting into Part 2! Hopefully tomorrow. I love the animated ones.

I was working pretty steady on this entire playlist until work got wildly busy for a couple months. Now I'm diving back in. Have you done anything with UPBGE? I haven't started yet, on any game engine at all, but I'm loving Blender as a beginner to 3D and Python so I might give the game engine a try.

Thanks for sharing your content is such accessible tutorials for the novice!

Hello. Do you know how to make Image Browser python code? I'm making an addon with Serpens 3, but there's no function for embedding an image browser. So that the texture (Diffuse for example) can be changed from the custom panel.

Of all the exercises and challenges, this one really made me feel like an actual idiot.

Of course I knew I was supposed to flip the rotation angle somewhere in the script, but for the rest of the steps I had to do to create exactly THAT animation, I didn't know what the hell I was supposed to do. I sat there wasting my time looking and overthinking about how I was supposed to even get to that point like I thought I had to just duplicate and change some lines here and there, then I took a long break from stressing out about it, came back and was still trying many stupid ways that always get this wrong. If I had looked up anything on Google for this, it would only be when you say that I'm allowed to, but I didn't. Was I allowed to?

Eventually I gave up and resorted to watching the solution at the end. God, I'm so pathetic.

Sorry for venting it here, I know it's obviously a damn skill issue I have.

Can I ask you to develop a piece of code for my addon for money? I wrote to you on Instagram
