API Overview: A more complete explanation of Python integration. API Reference Usage : Examples of how to use the API reference docs. Best Practice : Conventions to follow for writing good scripts.

Feb 11, 2007 · This document contains the API (Application Programming Interface) documentation for Blender. Documentation for the Python objects defined by the project is divided into separate pages for each package, module, and class.

This document describes the structure of Blender, and the reasoning behind this structure. It provides a high-level view of the components that make up Blender, and their interactions. When Blender needs to change, it should be consistent with this overall view.

Blender Python API development is broadly divided into below modules for specific tasks: Application Modules: General Blender Environment, which are datas; Standalone Modules: Helper Libraries Facilitating Creation, math and rendering facilities; GameEngine Modules: Game Engine Specific, logic and game rendering

This page presents two inheritance diagrams: one illustrating the Blender API structure and the other depicting the graphical user interface (GUI). The main script is highlighted in gray. The functions it calls are shown in light blue.

Jan 12, 2022 · I’m doing a small study on software design patterns in Blender modules. For easy location of these it is often helpful if the documentation includes UML diagrams or some kind of diagram that determines the connection between classes.

This reference documents the Blender Python API, a growing collection of Python modules (libraries) that give access to part of the program's internal data and functions. Through scripting Blender can be extended in real-time via Python, an impressive high level, multi-paradigm, open source language. Newcomers are recommended to start with the ...

Blender API basics¶ Introduction¶ Blender embeds a Python interpreter, which is used for multiple tasks. It is a central feature of Blender, as large parts of the user interface are set up and controlled from Python, as well as all add-ons (import/export, tools, etc) are written in Python.
