Learning Robotics using Python - Second Edition

Python scripting in Blender

Blender is mainly written in C, C++, and Python. Users can write their own Python script and access all the functionalities of Blender. If you are an expert in Blender Python APIs, you can model the entire robot using a Python script instead of manual modeling.

Blender uses Python 3.x. Blender. The Python APIs are generally stable, but some areas are still added and improved. Refer to http://www.blender.org/documentation/blender_python_api_2_69_7/ for the documentation on the Blender Python APIs.

Let's give a quick overview of the Blender Python APIs that we will use in our robot model script.
