Hello, I am new to Blender. But at least I understand the basic of this software.

I have an assignment from university, I have to make animation using mathematical function.

Is that possible to do that in Blender?
Do you have any good source or tutorial about making animation using script?

Thank you and I am sorry for asking newbie question like this.

yes it's possible, here's an introduction to python-scripted animation:

Awesome thanks...
Can it also morph the model?

I will read carefully your link.

i guess you could use an Armature, Lattice etc. and animate this to deform meshes. But you could also use couple other ways, like Shape Keys (vertex count has to be identical):

Code snippets for 2.5x but still useful:

Yeah I thank you... that snippet help me.
And last thing... do you know how to convert the available model to code. For example I made a model and I want to see the code behind my model.

Is that possible??? Thank you and I am sorry for late reply

Models are not code, they are data. You can export your models in a number of common formats.

So I can make a mesh out of python code but not the the other way around (python code generate from mesh availabe)??

you can, but i don't think there's an export script (yet)

have a look at this addon, especially teapot:

The teapot is just missing primitives if I am not wrong is not it?

Okay so come back to my first question. If I want to make a animation based on Mathematics so I must make it fully with script?

Mathematics need not be code, it can also be data.
