Awesome tutorial! I went over the exercise and I chose not to pass in the cube_count, location_offset, frame_count, fps as function parameters since these are global variables. Is there a preferred practice for passing these variables explicitly into a function?

For the create_row it can just be cube_array : p

Totally awesome. Sir, how can I import images in all blocks when images are in the local drive & CSV file contains all URLs. Waiting for another tutorial where you can add this feature.Thanks in advance.

do you use any interpreter (like pycharm) for blender?
if yes: how?
else: why not ? :)
