Blender architecture overview

It's not complete, but also not nothing. :)
People familiar with how Blender works can find it useful to understand coding for Blender as well.

Please note that blender3d.org -> Infocenter -> Development is constantly been updated with docs for devs!

Thanks Ton for this great information!

beyond the first page this is less of an architecture, rather than a design document.

Hi,

Im new to blender coding, I already read all blender developers information avaliable on blender3D and blender.org page (article about blenders structure is really good).

I have been reading blender code and most of the code is pretty descriptive, however still find some problems, it would be nice to have a database with globals, function, STRUCTURES, etc, etc, and their purpose;
i know theres a lot of work but at least some of the most important data could be documented (g structure).

If there is such a thing... can u tell me where?

Sorry for my english, not my native language

I was hoping to make a Roundtable at the next Blender Conference with as much Coders as possible to solve this, but if it could be done previously, the better.

It's very useful. I had NO CLUE how to navigate the code, but now I'm getting the hang of it. Thanx!

If you haven't you will also want to check out this doc:

On the wiki we are beginning documenting of useful blender stuff.

http://wiki.blender.org/bin/view.pl/Ble ... gTutorials

is in a very preliminary stage - the wiki is probably the best location to do this sort of thing.

This one works.

How awesome is the Python API?
