To switch to the view from the active camera we can execute the following command:
|
1 |
bpy.ops.view3d.view_camera() |
This operator works in the toggle mode, so the next executing of the same command returns the view to the previous state.

To switch from a global coordinate system to a local coordinate system of an object, we need to multiply the global coordinates by the inverted matrix of an object:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
import copy object_matrix_inverted = copy.copy(bpy.context.object.matrix_world) object_matrix_inverted.invert() cursor_location_local = object_matrix_inverted @ bpy.context.scene.cursor.location |
To switch from the local coordinate system of the object to the global coordinate system, we need to multiply the local coordinates by the matrix of an object:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
import copy object_matrix = copy.copy(bpy.context.object.matrix_world) vertex_0 = bpy.context.object.data.vertices[0].co vertex_0_global = object_matrix @ vertex_0 |
To scroll the animation in Blender without leaving the “Viewport” window – hold the Alt key and turn the mouse wheel.
This type of animation scroll works even if there is no “TimeLine” window open.
In Blender 2.8 node connectors in the “Shader Editor” window are straight by default, unlike earlier versions, where they bent curving. To return the usual connections bend, change the following settings:
In the last Blender 2.83 version, the function to remove doubles and merge vertices is moved to the “m” key code. The “alt + m” key code, used before, now executes the “Split” functions.
For those who want to know “how Blender works” to write their own scripts and add-ons, the developers have provided a very convenient option – the ability to view any element source code in a single click.
To see the source code of any element: open the “Text Editor” window; then simply click on the desired element with the right mouse button and select “Edit Source”.
Blender Animation Studio released a new open short animated film “Coffee Run”.
The animation is made in the 3D graphical editor “Blender”.
The Blender 2.83 release is enabled for downloading on the official Blender site.
This is the first “LTS” version of Blender, designed for long-term support.
