Module
Object gives the scripter access to Blender objects. The object module itself has only two methods =new()= and =get()=. Both return an object which can be further manipulated by either using methods of the object or by directly using member variables.
-- Create a new object of type Lamp lampob = Object.new(Object.Lamp) -- Create a new object of type Camera with name [[BlenderDev/LuaCam|LuaCam]] camob = Object.new(Object.Camera, "LuaCam.html") -- Get an existing Blender object with name "Spot" lampob2 = Object.get("Spot")
