How to check what version of Python interpreter is used in Blender

Leave a Comment / Blender 3D / Nikita / 01.02.2019

To find what Python interpreter version is used in current Blender version type the following commands in Python Console window in Blender:

import sys
print(sys.version_info)

# sys.version_info(major=3, minor=7, micro=0, releaselevel='final', serial=0)

import sys

print(sys.version_info)

# sys.version_info(major=3, minor=7, micro=0, releaselevel='final', serial=0)

It means that the version of Python used in Blender is 3.7.0.

To make it more readable type the following command:

print('.'.join(map(str, sys.version_info[:3])))
# 3.7.0

1 2	print('.'.join(map(str, sys.version_info[:3]))) # 3.7.0

or with full info:

print(sys.version)
# 3.7.0 (default, Aug 26 2018, 16:05:01) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]

1 2	print(sys.version) # 3.7.0 (default, Aug 26 2018, 16:05:01) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]

Leave a Comment / Blender 3D / Nikita / 28.01.2019

In the latest version 2.8 of Blender developers have made many changes in API, so all the scripts and add-ons written for earlier Blender versions (2.7 and below) have stopped working. To run your add-ons in the new Blender 2.8, you need to port them – correct their code to work properly with the new Blender API.

To enable your add-on in Blender 2.80 you have to make the following changes in code:

Blender logo in three different colors (white, red and green) on a transparent background in the “ico” format for desktop shortcuts.

With multi-colored icons, it is very convenient to distinguish installed Blender 2.7 and 2.8 versions.

BIS add-on for Blender 2.8

Leave a Comment / Blender 3D / Nikita / 21.01.2019

BIS (Blender Interplanety Storage) add-on is ported to Blender 2.8

The add-on branch for Blender 2.7 is fixed on the number 1.5. The master release for Blender 2.8 has version number 1.6 and higher in future development.

For both add-on versions the same library is used, so all BIS materials are available for all add-on versions, however, please note, materials made for Blender 2.8 may not look correct in Blender 2.7 and backward.

Now the download consists of two archives to install the add-on:

bis_2_7.zip – for Blender 2.7
BIS.zip – for Blender 2.8

BIS: Pro- account

Leave a Comment / Blender 3D / Nikita / 11.01.2019

The BIS library is free and fully accessible for all users. Any content (materials or meshes) from the open part of the library can be downloaded by any user without any restrictions. So why do you need a pro- account?

At first, this is a way to support the project. Like any other free project, BIS needs the user’s support. However, the BIS pro- account is not only a status attachment. The pro-status does not provide any additional content, but it allows you to make your pipeline with BIS more convenient.

Pro-account users have the following advantages:
