Getting Started with Scripting in Python

Best teacher. He has a youtube channel also.

[@ArtVandelayInc]

Great job of presenting kind of complex stuff in a simple way. Thank you for this!

[@MikeShah]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed! 🙂

[@madamHermit]

A fantastic intro vid, really manages to get a lot of concepts/tools across to help people figure things out on their own, even if some of the technical details are hand-wavy/swept under the rug.

[@MikeShah]

Thank you! Yes, I hope this gets folks started :)

Well done! Thanks.

Great presentation. Thank you for sharing 💪

[@Sharksleepy]

thanks a lot👍👍👍

Hey Mike, I have been using Blender Python for a couple of years now, and I was able to learn a lot of new tricks, thanks to your talk! Quick tip : It's more fun to see things happen than just hear about how it works. For example : at 32:24 , it would've been interesting to see the printed results of the calculated bounding box and match them with the object dimensions.

[@MikeShah]

Cheers! Agreed -- at some point I hope to chop this talk into smaller more interactive lessons and continue to expand on these lessons.

[@adisage]

@@MikeShah that'll be awesome!

[@CGPython]

Oh! This is awesome!! Thanks Mike!

[@MikeShah]

Cheers!

Mike is a boss I’m still trying to get through this OpenGL videos they are great🙏🏾

[@MikeShah]

Thank you for the kind words!

13:50 'this is integer' - lol why does it have dot in there?

[@MikeShah]

Good catch -- indeed a floating point value representing number of seconds passed. I think I'm use to some APIs returning a 'long' representing some unit of time that has passed as an integer 😅

Mine doesn't create an accurate bounding box unless I keep the code in to create the cube as well. So I have a cube and a rectangular prism bounding box. If I take out the cube, I get points but they make some intertwined triangles. Also, it is merged with the original object I'm trying to make a bounding box around. I wouldn't recommend this as the intro to Blender Python to ANYONE!

[@bakeer2018]

can You share the code please?, thanks for your great explanation

[@justinmedeiros7988]

He references the GIT where it is available

[@rodolflum3444]

little more direct approach on the presentation would be great, its kind of slow with a few redundant unnecesarry explanation. but great presentation a bit hanging on the end.

[@MikeShah]

Noted! I'd like to do a follow up talk (i.e. Day 2 of scripting) or otherwise I'll post more videos on my channel over time.
