Course Description

Learn Python inside Blender with this straight forward and easy to follow course. You don't need any previous Blender or Python experience we really do begin at the basics and start building up your knowledge from scratch.
Python is a really popular programming language and coupled with Blender will help you get a better understanding of the language through the visual feedback of the Blender interface.
The course will teach you how to set up the scripting interface inside Blender and start creating scripts.
The outcome of this course is the creation of 4 Python scripts to run inside Blender. Each one of these Python scripts builds on the previous one. The aim is to replace manually repetitive tasks with scripts that automate these processes.
We cover a variety of topics during this course, including:
VariablesListsFor loopsCommentsMesh manipulationMaterial CreationAdding Key Frames.........
and much More!

Sorry, thats not what I expected. I spent a lot of time typing down code from screenshots. Try doing this with only one small screen from an laptop! Very frustrating to burn time searching for typing errors. Some typing errors where very frustrating because they didn't raise errors. Like "bpy.context.scene_frame_end = 50" instead of "bpy.context.scene.frame_end = 50". There is not a lot of content an even less explanation of the content. I think about using the money back option. First time - and I have dozens of courses. Why is the animated camera not combined with the monkey scene at the beginning?

Clear explanations of whats being done and why.

I'm trying to perform certain repetitive functions in Blender. Hopefully, Python will do the trick.

By Daniel Rojo Mata on 9/3/2020

I loved it!
I'm a beginner, and this course motivates me to learn more about Python and Blender.
Good job.

By Bruce W. Johnson on 8/25/2020

Yes, this is what I need.

By Aaron Spain on 8/17/2020

Great course. Very well explained in reference-sized chunks. Do wish there was a bit more explanation of how to read Blender python documentation to learn to find properties and data sets on own.

By Brian Pyman on 8/5/2020

Some of this has been superfluous

Hopefully I've bought the course on sale. It's useful to a very general knowledge but it's a bit basic. It begins good but then starts to copy/paste a lot of code lines.
When you finish the course you can't imagine how coding can save you time in the future. The final script has no practical applications.

By Stephen Heyworth on 7/16/2020

The course was good as far as it went, but I would have liked it to go further. For example it didn't cover things like vertex and edge manipulation which are quite fundamental to Blender. The video appeared a bit fuzzy - probably because it was recorded at 720p and this made reading the text a bit of a strain on my eyes and distinguishing some of the characters difficult. For example 0 and 8 looked very similar as did the full stop and comma. As there was no actual final code provided (as there usually is with many of your courses), this made hunting for the inevitable typos very difficult.

at the moment, is exactly what i was looking. [Edit] I did learn a lot but got lost sometimes with the copy paste lines.

By William Anderson on 7/12/2020

Would like this to be longer. This video only gave a me peak at what is possible but really just left we with so many unanswered more questions.
