In this video tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a custom panel that will appear right in the sidebar of your 3D viewport.
I'll take you through all the necessary steps to create your very own panel, from start to finish. I'll show you how to turn your custom panel into a convenient add-on that you can use whenever you need it.

amazing explanation, thank you so much ! I like your way to show how you would find the information (documentation, blender logs), it's very important for us to learn the process as well.

Thanks for showing the basics of creating an add-on! I think you should do a course on Udemy or other such platforms as do many others judging by the comments! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for this tutorial! I was wondering if you have a tutorial that covers texturing and displacement on a plane? I've been having a hard time trying to figure out how to import a texture while applying a displacement modifier to an object with the imported texture, all from an addon window. Thx.

I still need to get such a tutorial! But that is an interesting idea. Thank you Do you have any example add-ons that you were looking at? Have you posted your code anywhere?

@@CGPython I'm currently making one with the visual scripting add-on, Serpens, in Blender. I could share the code when I finish if you'd like.

Are you able to lets say create your own custom panel from 3 other addons? Example If I have 3 lighting addons and would like to pick only certain features from them into a single panel?

Thanks for tips @CGPython Is it possible to set panel's default width? I was trying bl_ui_units_x but it's not working -_-

@CGPython 3 ай бұрын

good question! I don't know. 🤔 I believe the Blender developers haven't provided the option to override or set that parameter. This could be because allowing add-on devs to scale the panel's width to their preference might lead to add-ons interfering and causing inconvenience to the user. It you find a way I would love to know

Hi Victor was trying to find a way to contact you Had an idea about a tutorial It is pretty lengthy so didn't want to actually post it here, is there any other way I tried your Twitter but there was no way to send message?

Try Twitter again 🐦 I didn't notice that the DMs are disabled by default. Eventually, I'll make a github repo with idea/suggestions box.

is there a way to create multiple buttons with one operator but with different parameters? I just want to create only one operator class, but inside execute block I want to read the parameter. I mean only buttons, without props. For example, Button 1 calls a parameter that Creates one sphere, and Button 2 calls the same parameter which creates two spheres. And only parameters changes (1 or 2)

@CGPython Жыл бұрын

Hello, Thanks for your question! Here is an example of an operator with different params set on each button (see the mesh.add_subdiv_monkey buttons) gist.github.com/CGArtPython/f6f3c678d4ad0616f5a89891e2282f43 I took the script from this video tutorial kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZsWBps6Wup6ngKM.html

Can you teach us how to wrap a c++ code in Blender and make a custom floating panel?

Hey, Sorry, this channel is mainly focused on Python. I would recommend watching the Blender dev channel, for example, starting with this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbl5mrqQs53TY4k.html

Sorry, I don't fully understand what you mean by this. Are you looking for how to add tabs in menus? Or do you want to understand how UI layouts work? Do you have an example of an add-on that does what you want to do?
