Thanks a lot for this, I'll finally come to a point of combining my bad coding with my bad blender skills to create awesome new things

PLEASSEEE, MAKE A TUTORIAL SERIES MAN, PLEASEEEE

Loved it, thanks for making this video. Reminds me of my Max script days when technical animators were called in for the strange effects that would take days if not weeks manually.

I've been trying to learn programming for a while. But this was the best tutorial I've seen for python, and its in a video about blender...

Feeling blessed! This is liberating! Thank You so much!

Yep... the "context" issue had me baffled for hours. So brave... but rewarded to finally have someone explain. Thanks a million. Hope to connect through your course soon. Awesome CG Cookie.

This is quite brilliantly explained. I was putting off looking at Python scripting, but it looks like it's much simpler than I thought. 👍🏻

Excellent Python demonstration! Straight to the point and using actual examples.

i was looking for a quick primer and this was the perfect amount of info. thanks for putting this video together

chris this is amazing ...thank you for this step-by-step instruction on how to use python in blender

Thank you for an excellent tutorial. I love that you used the animations for the section titles and thumbnail

Un très grand merci ! This course is really great. Your explanations are crystal clear.

This is GREAT! Thank you very much for putting in the effort to make this video.

Muchas gracias hace 3 meses empecé a estudiar python y hace 2 meses empecé con blender esto es perfecto, muchas gracias por compartir su conocimiento

Amazing tutorial! Really well presented. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

The way that you teach this topic is excellent. Keep it up!

Excellent tutorial, with clear explanations for each step. A good way to learn Python at the same time!

Love this Tutorial great work just what I needed

This is absolutely fantastic simple explanation. I think i'll finally get to python scripting today:) Thank you!

This is the first video I've seen showing introduction to Python in Blender. Very educational!

Thank you very much for the inspiration video for me. This is all enough blender python tutorial.

thank you for great tutorials 🙏🏻

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun doing this

Inspiring tutorial! Thanks!

Finally I understand python praize the lord its a miracle XD

Thanks for this, it was fun!

You are killing it man. Great videos!

Really liked this - Thank you!

Amazing! Very well done!

thanks for your vid - huge help!!!

Absolutely great stuff !!

It's really cool to understand python. I am living in 2022 with Blender 3.2 so this particular function is better suited for geometry nodes. But as an intro to python, this was nice.

Clearly explained! Thanks!

This was a great help. Thanks a million.

Awesome tutorial. Thank you.

Thank you very much! This was very useful.

this is gorgeous

very helpful, thank you you're great

Loved the soundtrack!

we need more of this python tuts .. AWESOME

loved the way you explained this ... :)

Very enlightening.

awesome video, thanks!

Ever since school I’ve wanted to do GUIs in python but the packets and libraries never worked in pycharm if blender has stuff like this baked in I can’t wait to try this more just got into doing 2d animation with blender this looks a lot more welcoming to me as a coder first now days

Very nice, wonderful introduction!

Thanks Bro... you help me

Excellent

finally i can use my meagre coding skills somewhere and a good refresher for the syntax while actually using it somewhere practical :P

awesome!

@26:00 This is exactly what I was trying to do and was running into same error. THANK YOU a lot..!!

super awsome

Great colors, by the way...

Background music is good. Makes video entertaining

Thanks

The best!!!👍👍👍

Sweet!! More stuff on scripting plzzz!!!

What a Legend!!

thank you

Very Interesting.

Its good and I love it.... BECAUSE I AM A PY DEV a guy who never touched code in his life will not understand python YOU ARE SCARING PEOPLE FROM PYTHON

That's so so good you're a great artist,but to be honnest,(about the project) I made the whole animation without any scripting just some dope sheet,and with my weak computer I still working with blender 2.79,but that's a perfect course about python,I didn't use it ever.

You are awesome.🤍🔥

This is an awesome tutorial, thank you for this One question: alot of this is now possible with nodes right? Where does python scripting still become more or less helpful with the "everything nodes"?

YAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS QUEEN!!!!!

Holy shit thanks this was really informative!

damn!!! power unlocked!!!!!!

Nice Stuff ..!

Holy!

Also someone can use dir() Example 1, dir(bpy) Example 2, dir(bpy.context) and so on.

this is so goddamn great

Can you make follow along tutorials? To learn the tools of blender and the scripting? How to draw and color in blender also using scripts?

like it!

Great tutorial, What it helped me most was the last tip, on how to toggle to the correct context view !!! Thank you... A full tutorial on the other usual error situations is greatly needed, so this way the full path on how to script 3d blender will be open and an explosion of new, complete and supper powerful scripts can be achieved. The problem right now is that even that anyone wants to READ and look up the documentation, BECAUSE we don't have the full understanding of python we JUST cannot understand the documentation or the instructions given, In addition the documentation for python and 3d blender lacks SIMPLICITY and CLARITY, The current short and technical error reports JUST INCREASE the frustration when something is not working, These lack of ease in troubleshooting is STOPPING and KILLING experimentation and development for python and 3d blender. STRESS BOMBS: Right now in 3d blender when an error occurs it tells you "look in to the console for now" ... First problem "Where is the console" Then, the console gives you a short and technical report and on the last line it says " Look in the console for now" ... BUT we are in the console !!! For example: Yesterday I was trying to add a material color to the cube and I typed this line of code: ....code ...code mat_red.diffuse_color = (0.0, 0.8, 0.0) this code gives the cube a red color. When I run this code the ERROR said .... bs..bs four parameters are needed and only three are given !!! GTF!!! A better and helpful error report could be: To defuse material color needs the rgb parameters PLUS the Alpha parameter ... your code should look like this mat_red.diffuse_color = (0.0, 0.8, 0.0, 1.0 ) the last parameter of 1.0 sets the alpha to full opacity and these four parameters are needed to set a new diffuse color for you object, in addition if you set the alpha to less than one (0.6) the color will look semi transparent. For your convenience here are some links to other color related code, ... DON'T worry 3d blender got your ass cover! www.some cool and helpful 3d blender documentation.com Something like this will open up python and 3d blender to the masses and the development and the benefits will be infinite,.... and best of all, YOU Chris Bailey right now have the OPPORTUNITY to be the GREAT CREATOR of the path to full 3d blender scripting !!!! PLEASE MAKE this tuts!!! Thank You again. Marten.

This is superpower.

Can I do the "arrays" collection on 2.68 v. as a group or I have other option to do it on this Blender version ? I've serach and can't find any solutions. Thanks for the tutorial, its so cool to learn a thing that is new for me !

How to create 10x10 blocks area: import bpy div = 2 for i in range(10): for j in range(10): bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(size=2, enter_editmode=False, align='WORLD', location=(i * div, j * div, 0), scale=(1, 1, 1))

ahahah, the context is incorrect ! I've seen this error so often that I finally found out what it was about...but it's nicely explained, congrats ;)

Thanks for your video ! Can you answer a simple question? what about interactive scripts? ones that prompt the user for input? or say I have a dog character and I want to be able to control which direction it goes interactively by moving a switch? how do I have a script process running waiting for something to happen so that it can react without freezing the blender UI??

17:19 it could be confused with X axis. Maybe better to use "for cube in cubes: cube.scale(x,y,z)"? ;)

thank you for this tutorial, if you dont mind some constructive criticism: for me with headphones the background music was a tad to loud

Nice but i had to use a lot my brain to flow it due to the lack of steps. Please do more

Thanks for this much much helpful, how we can control timeline using python commands ? I need a character doing live lipsync by reading the str from file or a variable, pls help.

Hallo, at 22.02 you copy paste "+ offset" to the next lines.... how did you do that.... ? that is amazing.... and a question on the side... are you coming back to the bcon this year....? hope to see you again...

wizards of blender indeed

Hi Chris, I am python-dev and just started to learn blender last week, I am interested to learn animation could you please recommend any best tutorial for me. It would be great if you guide me on this, And one small doubt is that Cubes isn't part of the Collections, based on UI it should be like Collections[Cubes[Cube, cube 001, cube 002....]]. Thanks

Thank you for your informative videos. How can I make python script runs automatically when I export Blender file by using game engine add on?

Great tutorial and thank you! I'm stuck on the texture coordinate part at 23:43. The texture coordinate isn't changing the cubes as it does on your screen.

Thank you ever so much. The first time this has made sense to me. I'm totally hooked. Was subbed long time back though.

Wow! Very impressive!!!! I One question. I am a beginner, and this is my first lesson in Python. All commands under bpy.context. etc. - Are they same commands in Maya, Unity, Unreal Engine, Houdini and Cinema 4D OR these are exclusive python commands for Blender?

Can we add two variables based on odd and even directory of the objects in the collection?? Like for eg. Cube cube1 Cube2 cube3 Cube4 cube5 . . . . . . Any advice ??

I strongly suggest ,top view is very useful and many ...( i mean , made a lot different game on a story sences)..

Thanks for the great tutorial! When I did the "for x in Cubes: x.scale = [0.5, 0.5, 0.5]" bit, if the original 100 cubes were created using duplicating objects, after running that line the cubes look exactly like the video (all resized smaller, but separated). However if the original 100 cubes were created using an array modifier and then separated by loose parts, after running that line the cubes all got smaller but were still stuck together. Why is that?

Awesome tutorial! My only critique would be to turn down or completely remove that music in the background.

Can Manim (developed by Grant Sanderson) be used in Blender.?

can you tell me how to get vertices into camera view as pixel coordinates.

Hey, I learned a lot from this video but I have a question. You accomplished animation using with a py script that adds keyframes to the timeline. This is a fine. I want to perform an operation that calculates and sets force field values on every frame. Is there a blender pre-frame render callback that I can utilize to perform calculations on every frame? Thanks.

Thanks for the video. I would lower the music next time though, it can be distracting at times.

I selected all the cubes and linked the modifiers, then with all selected, I change the wireframe thickness, but it still only effects the brightest one in the selection. It seems I can't select them all equally, one is always brighter. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

Can you run the code in an non blender external ide and have a render as the output?

When the part 2 will come?
