It is impossible to track the switching between object and edit mode by the user with common handlers in Blender, there are no handlers for such event type in the bpy.app.handlers. However, this can be tracked through the Message Bus.

foreach_set is a convenient wrapper in the Blender Python API for quickly setting the desired value for each element of the bpy_prop_collection type. However, when using this function, script developers sometimes run into an error.
To make a spring with Geometry Nodes in Blender, all we need to do is use some vector math. Taking a straight line as a basis, we can move its points in accordance with the circle equation so that in the end they form a spring.
Blender add-on “Image Comparison Slider” updated to v. 1.1.0.
MatCap is a way to simulate material and ambient lighting settings in a scene with only one single image. Most often, matcaps are used to control an object shape when sculpting, but they are good for working with shapes in any kind of modeling.
When writing add-ons for Blender, it is important to place UI elements – buttons, fields, switches, etc., so that the user can easily find them and have convenient access to them. Blender provides to add-on developers the following areas to place their custom UI:
To distribute objects with Blender Geometry Nodes, the “Distribute Points on Faces” node is usually used. It produces a set of points randomly scattered over the surface of the mesh polygons. Next, the necessary objects are located at these points. In common case, these points are located randomly, and the objects located on them can intersect with each other if the points are close. However, we can configure the nodes so that the meshes located on the points will not intersect.

In order to mix two normal or bump maps in Blender shader so that they overlap as required, we need to correctly connect their nodes in the Node Editor.
With Blender Geometry Nodes, we can quickly turn an ordinary font into an interesting font with the spectacular border. The main assistant in creating such a font will be the Extrude node.
