From the Back Cover
Learn to automate tasks, develop custom extensions, and procedurally generate meshes in Blender. This book will show you how to streamline virtually every stage of the 3D modeling pipeline for your next game or animation project.
Start with a hands-on introduction to the Blender Python API and dive right into basics like loading/running scripts and turning hand-modelling steps into Python by capturing them in the Info Editor. Then experiment with Blender menu options, typing them into the Python console and watch things move in the viewport. You’ll also dissect with Blender-shipped add-ons and take advantage of built-in templates to quickly create new scripts. With a firm grasp of scripting basics, you'll start to develop your own add-ons for editing and generating models. Then add more advanced mesh edits like extrude and loop cut-and-slides to your script, and essentials for shaping mesh elements like merge, bevel, and so on. Putting it altogether, you’ll create an extension to procedurally generate stylized fire hydrants with parametric controls.
In addition to mesh editing, you’ll learn to develop production-quality extensions covering various stages of a 3D pipeline, such as retopology, UV mapping, texture painting, and more. Discover along the way how to implement just about any input widgets for your extension. Then package, distribute, and market your extensions through different channels, and produce impressive time-lapsed demos to showcase your procedural content generation (PCG) algorithms. Whether you are new to the Blender Python API or looking to take your add-ons to the next level, this book will support you in your journey in generating 3D content and automating your Blender workflow.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only Blender/Python book you'll ever need
After only a few chapters into the book, I've already gained more knowledge about blender's Python API, writing Addons and extensions, and blender in general, than I learned after reading the entirety of a couple of other blender/python books I've purchased.The Author does an A++ job at explaining all the details of the samples, and the python API, so you're not left with any questions about the sample code, or the topic at hand. If you really want a firm grasp of writing addons, extensions, and working with Blender's python API, then this is the book for you.Plus, the fact that it's written for the latest version of Python means you won't be scratching your head in some parts where the API may have changed. The examples, samples, and instructions all work exactly like you'd expect, using the latest version of Blender.The book doesn't skip on the details, and covers pretty much all the different workspaces and modes of blender. It's hard to believe that so much information on the different workspaces and aspects of Blender in one book. No need to look any further than this one book, it covers it all, and is suitable for the beginner through the intermediate/advanced blender user.
