[edit] Scripts User Manual


Using a script is very easy: just select it from a menu. If the script has a user interface, a window will change to a Scripts window (look for the little green python/snake) and the interface will be shown there. An interface is used by the script to allow you to set options and enter parameters that guide the script in performing its function, just like all the buttons and fields in Blender. If it does not have an interface, it just does its thing and exits. All scripts may put out messages in the Blender Console window to let you know status or about errors it encountered.

[edit] Running Scripts

There are two places to find and use Scripts in Blender. Commonly used scripts are accessed by the specific window menu for convenience. For example, the UV/Image Editor window has, under its Image menu item, a Fix Broken Paths script available. Clicking on that menu item runs that script.

The second and all-encompassing way to find and run a script is through the ScriptWindow. If you select the Scripts menu item, a popup menu lists functional groups of scripts. Hovering or selecting a function pops up the list of available scripts within that group. These functions relate to the workflow of CG animation and rendering.

[edit] Refreshing the List of Available Scripts


An additional menu item, Update Menu, causes Blender to go out to the Scripts directory and scan all the python files to refresh the list of available scripts within each group. Use this menu item if you have added any .py files to the Scripts directory during your Blender session.


[edit] Python Reference


The Full Python Application Programmer Interface of Blender has a reference documentation which is a book by itself. For space reason it is not included here. Here it is :)



Select one of the above groups to find out more about the scripts available in that group. Press the link for the script to get more information on the script.

These were in the original list, but not on the Scripts main menu. I don't know what to do with them:
