[edit] Main Section for Scripts
There are three main sets of documentation of the Blender scripts:
- Scripts/Manual: Contains Tutorials on using Python. Links to script information, Blender Python API docs.
- Scripts/Catalog: a large listing of scripts, grouped by function, linking to individual script pages.
- Manual/Python Scripting: A detailed description of Python & Blender from the Blender Manual pages.
[edit] Scripts/Manual
A script is a program that is written in the Python language which runs within Blender, and calls on Blender routines to create new functionality. Because Python is a popular interpreted programming language, it can be used to extend the functionality of Blender in a wide array of ways. Users all over the world have written hundreds of scripts, and this section of the Blender wiki attempts to catalog and document those scripts, and provide you the user with information on how to use them effectively.
There are a few ways to run a script:
- Command Line
- Inside Blender
- With Blender running, use a Text Editor to load the .py file, and then File->Run Python Script
- Scripts Menu
- If the script is self-registering to one of the Blender menus and is located in the Python Script folder set in your User Preferences, you can switch one of the blender windows to a Scripts window, and run it from the menu that pops up.
- There is much more detailed information in the Scripts/Manual.
