Dear Community,
I am pretty new to Blender, and have so far learned to use some of its abilities through the graphical user interface. I’d like to dive into Python scripting now. A convenient way to learn the important stuff fast would be if Blender generated a Python script for me which reflects all steps I did during an interactive session. Does such a GUI-session-to-Python-script export function exist? I’ve been unable to spot it.
Thanks a lot for the support.
Regards,
Jonas
yes, just pull down on the top info bar, here’s a pic to show you. It won’t generate a script for you but will display the most recently used python operator then you can copy/paste as you please. Also mouse hovering over any button/operator will show you the path the the python script that drives it.
note that it is not possible to record macros yet, see:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Ack-err/GSoC_2013/Proposal
the operator log is a good point to start, but not for complex tasks - you will have to script in low-level API for efficient code. But it really depends on what you wanna achieve.
Hi, I am also trying to extract a python script from blender.
I did as elindell suggested in the previous post but then I cannot copy/paste the python commands.
I have the list of commands as shown in the elindell’s picture but the only thing I can do is right click and highlight each line singularly. After that I cannot do anything else because I can’t find anywhere the “copy” option.
I am using Ubuntu, but I experienced the same problem also under Windows.
Thanks
Cheers
