I’m working on a film about microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria. The underground portion of a fungus is composed of hyphae which are single strands of connected cells. A large grouping of hyphae is called a mycelium. The first image is of a mycelial mat that I did in Blender with no coding. But just for the fun of it, I tried to reproduce this entirely in code. Full disclosure – I had some help from VS Code Copilot AI. The Blend file is attached along with a screenshot of the results. Cool things left to do with a script: taper the ends of each hyphal strand and create septae (cross walls) to divide the hyphae into distinct cells. Just run the script to generate the sidebar operator and make some fungus!

Hello! Just wanted to show what I've been working on, it's my personal Blender QoL addon that has a ton of different functions (the overall project has 10k+ lines of code :D). I won't be able to show everything as a lot of stuff there is quite niche to what I'm doing for work but something that I feel quite proud of is a custom modal that allows to quickly copy materials/modifiers/etc from one object to another, a custom shader pie menu with useful shader node groups and a object viewport colour randomiser and selector. Huge thanks to this community and Victor for help:) I definitely enjoy working with Blender Python and now I have some other tools I want to develop but outside of Blender but that's a different journey it seems :D

Hey everyone, Just wanted to let you know I’m still recovering and not feeling 100%, so I’ll need to sit out this week’s coffee hangout. Hope you all have a great time and a great week!

I’ve been playing around a bit with numpy and Blender. I’ve managed to create a scene with falling dominoes arranged in a spiral. Full disclosure – I had a bit of help from AI (ok, a lot of help from AI) in setting up the spiral and rotating the dominoes properly. But I think it looks ok. Thought people might like to see how I did it with rigidbodies. So run the script, and to see the animation, just hit the play button on the Timeline.

I have graphic design and programming background so learning Blender and then going on to learn Python for Blender seems a good path for me.
