It will allow for easier later position adjustments. I'll probably use this to duplicate and position objects along lines, circles, spirals instead of using Blender's own array attributes. It probably explains why one can think of some complex manipulation for which there is no gui element - it's simply much easier to handle in code. It shows the property that is being driven. There may be more than the gui allows to modify or use. This panel is visible in Sidebar of the Drivers Editor or as a popover when adding a driver to a property. If one has identified an object, use Python's dir() function to get a list of all known methods and attributes of an object. Upon saving a scene, both the Python console and the internal text editor are stored along the 3D model which makes for a very nice workflow.įinding the correct object names - such as _body.mass is very easy, because Blender does show these when hovering over any form entry field with the mouse pointer. Alternatively one can open a text editor window inside Blender as well. Setting driver Pay attention to Drivers tab. Open the Graph Editor In its menu set Mode to Drivers If node with driver is selected, the Graph Editor displays the name and path of the controlled value, curve and Drivers tab in the N-bar.

The code can be edited in an external text editor. Select Add Driver Adding driver to Value node The value will painted in purple.

To use this code I simply opened a new window (drag the little upper right triangle icon on any existing Blender window), changed the window type to 'Python Console' (lower left window type select icon), and then paste the above code into it. Access Adobe Stock on the web Use the Creative Cloud Libraries panel in-app to. It is very easy to alter all objects in a scene based on their name: for o in : Subsequently all objects looking like dominoes have a name starting with 'Domino'. The cubes I am working with are more like domino stones. While I did not find the much preferred simple button or gui solution, it turned out that hacking your own Python code in Blender is easier than one might think.
