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.
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.
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!
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 😅
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.
Great job of presenting kind of complex stuff in a simple way. Thank you for this!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed! 🙂

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

Cheers! Agreed -- at some point I hope to chop this talk into smaller more interactive lessons and continue to expand on these lessons.
@@MikeShah that'll be awesome!
Mike is a boss I’m still trying to get through this OpenGL videos they are great🙏🏾

Oh! This is awesome!!
Thanks Mike!

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

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