Welcome to the second class in our Blender python series. This is where we learn about using python code to control what happens in Blender, automate tasks and create add ons to expand Blenders already incredibly versatile range of tools. In this volume our focus will be on learning about two of the cornerstones of any programming language, variables and for loops. By learning about these topics, we will be able to automate an entire scene using a single A4 page worth of code and our trusty run script button.

We will learn about how variables can help control the parameters in our lines of code and how we can use for loops to iterate and control all of the objects in our scene.

When we have built up our confidence in using loops and variables we will challenge ourselves by creating a script that allows us to generate a city landscape. Randomizing the landscape every time the script is run.

As this is still classed as a beginner course we also cover some useful tips on improving your workflow as a programmer in Blender. Covering how to utilize the python interactive console as well as the online API documentation.
