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.

Here’s my Capstone Project for Part 2 of the Blender Python for Artists course. I’ve extended my Capstone Project for Part 1 to include a choice of four different types of paddock. These can be accessed from a tab in the 3D viewport window after running the script. Other than some help from Chatgtp in working with collections, everything in the script was learned from the course, including class inheritance and nested loops – all in just 393 lines of code. Had so much fun doing this, and it really solidified my understanding of the concepts. Oh, and be sure to have viewport shading set to either Material Preview or Rendered for the full-coloured effect. Also, I'd appreciate any advice on the code. Thanks!

Opening Blender and running a script from VS Code works fine, except when I try to use code with an operator. Then nothing happens. Any suggestions? Thanks.

In this exercise, I’m to add a random colour to a point light and give the light a location. If I run the script repeatedly (after clearing the scene each time), however, I eventually get this error message which crashes the script: Python: Traceback (most recent call last): …line 46, in <module> …line 44, in add_light ValueError: bpy_struct: item.attr = val: sequences of dimension 0 should contain 3 items, not 4 Just wondering what’s happening. I’ve attached my blend file for reference. Thanks!
