What part of the Extensions you don't like? There was a public discussion about this devtalk.blender.org/t/2024-05-23-extensions-project/34787 devtalk.blender.org/t/changes-to-add-on-and-themes-bundling-4-2-onwards/34593/200

You're welcome 😊

ruclips.net/video/P1IcaBn3ej0/видео.htmlsi=wlLedmZJeab9DXMM Is there any way we can use this technique in Blender? If it is possible.

Yes, I have that planned

Awesome, thank you! Working on it! 🙂

@@CGPython Patiently waiting for that video. Thanks 😉

Glad you liked it! Yes, this is what I plan to cover in the next video (the video that I pointed to). I am currently working on it 🙂 Stay tuned!

Could you share what part you find messy? Is it the UI updates or, the website or something else?

Great question! Unfortunately, Blender does not have a C++ plugin API. You can find the official answer here: developer.blender.org/docs/handbook/new_developers/faq/#can-a-c-plugin-api-be-added That said, you can write a C/C++ lib and create Python bindings for it. Then, create an add-on extension using the Python API and your custom C/C++ Python module. So, you will need to use the Python API to pass the data to the C/C++ part of your add-on extension. There is a Rust example that does what I mentioned. You can speed up geometry processing with Rust from the World Blender Meetup Day 2022 Part 3 (link with timestamp) ruclips.net/video/TJXtio1YDCw/видео.html

@@CGPython thanx god. If it happens, blender will be end

Thank you! This was not an easy UI/UX change, but I am confident that with a little time, we will all adapt to it. 💪 I don't know how I would have solved this UI/UX problem differently. Initially, the Add-ons tab was removed and replaced by the Extensions tab, but after feedback from the community, the Blenders devs updated the UI to look how it is now.

you can pip install it from here pypi.org/project/bpy-building-blocks/ ruclips.net/video/_irmuKXjhS0/видео.html I do need to do a pass on the code to update it make sure it works in the latest 4.2 release... 🫠

@@CGPython Thanks! Your videos are great!

Thank you!! > I've found it helpful to think of "Extensions" as a wrapper for add-ons and themes yeah, that is a great way to think about it!

Thank you

Hello, Sure! I would need some more info to be able to help. What Blender version are you using? How are you creating your add-on? Can you try to follow this video to create an add-on and try to use VSCode with it ruclips.net/video/Qyy_6N3JV3k/видео.html Note: this ^ add-on will work in Blender 4.1, there were some updates done in 4.2 that changes the process of creating an add-on extension.

I think you need to convert your add-on into a folder + __init__.py file I explain this here github.com/JacquesLucke/blender_vscode/issues/134#issuecomment-1626898526 let me know if this does not make sense.

@@CGPython it actually ended up being something to do with the extension install or something. I've installed Python and the extension in the past but never did anything with it so I reinstalled everything and it started working. Thanks for the help though.

Do you know if wrap master uses any Python? I would guess that it is a pure Geo Nodes node network without any Python.

@@CGPython Is it possible to teach us creating a custom geo nodes with or without python, something like wrap master. pleasee

You need to start typing a statement like >>> bpy. and then hit the TAB key

That's so cool! 🎉💖

Thank you! Can you post it in a comment?

​@@CGPython sure but I think it's complicated without a scene, I'll try to post it here anyway, I've prepared a zip file with scene and screenshot that I can send you. I'll try to explain what I should do: after dragging some of the assets from the library to the 3dview, I would like to make a script that takes the selected collections and overrides all content, collection, objects, databloks and materials My script works until the first collections override, the second "for loop" should override the objects because otherwise they cannot move, rotate and scale. and I think context problems already arise here... Done without script you should select the colls, right click, Library Override/Make/Selected & Content. all this for the cols, then for the objects then for the data_bloks and finally for the materials, selecting everything each time!! I hope I was clear and that the Google translation didn't cause any disasters Thanks for your help ************************* import bpy print("----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ") area = next(area for area in bpy.context.window.screen.areas if area.type == 'OUTLINER') with bpy.context.temp_override( window=bpy.context.window, area=area, region=next(region for region in area.regions if region.type == 'WINDOW'), screen=bpy.context.window.screen ): #over_sel_collections_and_data() def over_sel_collections_and_data(): selected_objects = bpy.context.selected_objects[:] list_assets = [] for col in selected_objects: cleaned_name = col.name.replace('_COL', '') list_assets.append(cleaned_name) bpy.ops.outliner.liboverride_operation(type="OVERRIDE_LIBRARY_CREATE_HIERARCHY", selection_set="SELECTED_AND_CONTENT") meshes = bpy.data.meshes """ for pref in list_assets: print("----prefix-----", pref) for obj in bpy.context.scene.objects: if obj.name.startswith(pref): bpy.ops.ed.lib_id_override_editable_toggle() """ for mesh in meshes: mesh_name = mesh.name if any(mesh_name.startswith(pref) for pref in list_assets): obj = bpy.data.objects.get(mesh_name) bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = obj bpy.ops.object.make_override_library() return list_assets def main(): # Ottieni le collection selezionate list_assets = over_sel_collections_and_data() if not list_assets: print("Nessuna lista pervenuta.") else: print(f"OK lista pervenuta: {list_assets}") main()

@@CGPython Thank you!!

Hello, Thank you! You should be able to run `Blender: Reload Addons` in the command palette for VSCode

@@CGPython Thank you!

Great question! I don't know if that is possible through the Python API.

@@CGPython I figured it out looking into some addon code! icon = 'SOLO_ON' if bone_collection.is_solo else 'SOLO_OFF' current_row_nested = current_row.row() current_row_nested.prop(bone_collection, 'is_solo', toggle = True, text= '', icon= icon, emboss= False, invert_checkbox = True) This should switch between icons and also remove the "grey button" look

@@CGPython current_nested_row.prop(bone_collection, "is_solo", toggle=True text, icon=('SOLO_OFF', 'SOLO_ON')[bone_collection.is_solo], emboss=False, icon_only=True)

Thank you for sharing this!! Great to know!! 💖

Hey I could really use your advice. I am dedicated the learning blender python and using vsc. Ive been using blender for a few years so I'm very familiar with it. I followed your tutorial on installing vsc. Everything went perfectly until the end. Vsc won't open blender because of addons (boxcutter etc.) I know you can't tell what the issue is without seeing the code, but I'm just wondering if there are any common issues or fixes for usung addons with vsc. I have followed the troubleshootting steps from the vsc manual. Any tips or general info?

You're welcome! ❤️‍🔥

Thank you kindly!

@@CGPython I suppose the next step is animating :) Can we recreate any blender funcionality with bpy? Lets say particles. Thanks!

You can use bpy to add the Particle System Simulation like this: import bpy obj = bpy.context.active_object # Add a particle system to the object bpy.ops.object.modifier_add(type='PARTICLE_SYSTEM') # Get the particle system particle_system = obj.particle_systems[0] ps_settings = particle_system.settings # Configure the particle system settings ps_settings.count = 1000 ps_settings.frame_start = 1 ps_settings.frame_end = 200 ps_settings.lifetime = 50 ps_settings.emit_from = 'FACE' ps_settings.render_type = 'HALO'

Great question! Yeah, you are correct that we can also use a bevel op. With bmesh you can chain multiple types of edits and you have more control over the mesh editing process. Also, the Blender devs outline some issues when if you use operators docs.blender.org/api/current/info_gotcha.html#using-operators
