3D House in Blender using Python Scripts [ Help ]

spgun · Post by **spgun** » Tue Nov 27, 2012 2:58 pm

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: Select all

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-exte ... a_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.

it works fine here in blender 2.64, your version is 2.62 so you should update to latest stable release

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..?
