Just getting started :-)

Hi!

I got Blender 228 from CVS to build using the MSVC project files.


I still can't get past Blender.getCurrentScene() in most ( all ) of the scripts I test. Noticing in scene.py there is a 'GetCurrent()', I tried it, but still no luck. I started with Blender.py, but noticing the Blender module, placed that in my Python 2.23 site-packages directory and tried it.

Anyone want to point me towards getting started?

try this

Code: Select all

# get selected objects
objs = Object.GetSelected()
# get meshes from selected objects
for obj in objs:
	if( obj.getType() == "Mesh" ):
		print "mesh"
	else:
		print "not mesh"

Hi,

have you read the API documentation? You can read the documentation here or download it here.
There's no Blender.getCurrentScene() function. This is probably what you want:

Code: Select all

import Blender

sc = Blender.Scene.GetCurrent()

With regards,

Thanks

The API seems to have changed from what it was when the code I am working with was done ( It exports Blender to CrystalSpace )

Whops, now I noticed that I wrote something that you don't want
I thing I have to slow down, because now I'm not sure about things I'm reading .
Sorry for that , I have so much of work that I sometimes don't know what I'm doing
