Hi,
Can you please guide me to create a 3D house using Python Scripts?

I know little Python Scripts. But, its hard to think of a way to apply them in Blender to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Here's a simple example:

Code:

import bpy verts = (4, 2, 0), (4, -2, 0), (-4, -2, 0), (-4, 2, 0), (4, 2, 4), (4, -2, 4), (-4, -2, 4), (-4, 2, 4), (4, 0, 6), (-4, 0, 6) faces = (0, 1, 2, 3), (8, 9, 6, 5), (0, 4, 8, 5, 1), (1, 5, 6, 2), (2, 6, 9, 7, 3), (4, 0, 3, 7), (4, 7, 9, 8) me = bpy.data.meshes.new("Simple House") me.from_pydata(verts, [], faces) me.validate() me.update() ob = bpy.data.objects.new("Simple House", me) bpy.context.scene.objects.link(ob) bpy.context.scene.update()

Thank you very much...
I will try with this.
Are there any documents/web links to read on this topic..?

Thanks again.

Here are the latest API docs:
http://www.blender.org/documentation/250PythonDoc/

You wanna check out the Add Mesh addons, especially the teapot example here:

https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-extensions/trunk/py/scripts/addons/add_mesh_extra_objects/

There are many ways of mesh generation, you could perform many operators like you would do in 3d view to create a model. You could also model something first, take the result and make this a script (like i did). Or start from scratch and write formulas to compute shapes based on input parameters.

Please tell me the requirements to run & test this script.
I have installed Blender.
Thanks for dedicating your time

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I was trying to run this script & see it.

But, it gives me an error in the below code line.

me.from_pydata(verts, [], faces)

And it gives me an error below.
"python script fail look in the console for now"

Sir,
Can you please help me to fix this error & run this code.

Thanks in advance.

can't help you, works fine here and you didn't post the error

run blender from terminal / command line or toggle console (windows only) inside of blender (Window > Toggle system console) and post the problem

Hi,
This is the error I get.


Hope it is clear in the image.
Do you have any idea why this error comes...?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks ... I updated it to 2.64. Its working now.
I hope I will have more questions to ask from you to clarify regarding Blender in the future.

Sir, your help is very helpful to me.

Thanks

Hi sir,
Again a question..
I'm practicing with Python scripts basics...
The above house was really well.
I like to study how to create a house like below.
( ex : rooms, doors, windows, etc )






Can you please help me..?
